Background:
The closure of schools early this year has had a major impact on all girls and young women, affecting the guiding activities that are normally conducted in schools, even as the world continues to grapple with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In line with our mandate: “To empower girls and young women to develop, exploit and utilize their fullest potential as leaders and responsible citizens of the world”. Kenya Girl Guides Association (KGGA) is committed to continue deliver our value based programme activities to our girls within the safety of their homes.
