MTAANI HANGOUT LENANA 2022 | STELLAR GIRLS KENYA

Stellar Girls Kenya at the Mtaani Touch A Heart Event - Recap VIDEO: 3rd December 2022


We got an invitation to the Mtaani Hangout, 5th edition organized by HESA INTL this past Saturday. To participate, we took up donation of sanitary towels for the girls and young women present.To that effect, we successfully ran a rigorous 12-Day Sanitary Pads Funds drive campaign from 21st November 2022 to 2nd December 2022. 

With the relentless and moral support from our stellar mentors and supporters, in the 12 days we were able to raise KES. 33,069 which enables us acquire above 385 sanitary pads that we donated to over 200 teenage girls, young women and mothers at Lenana during the Mtaani Hangout event held on 3rd December 2022.

THIS IS A VIDEO  showing a snippet of how the day went.

Stellar Girls Kenya was proud to have this platform to serve and look forward to more of these great platforms to impact, educate, elevate and empower girls (and boys) into their best versions a.k.a their stellar selves!

Our utmost gratitude also goes to the consistent, committed and ever determined stellar mentors who were present to ensure that our participation in the event was seamless, effective and visible:

QUORA 3: STAKI MKATE!

Q: Has a homeless/street person ever refused food you've offered them? If so, did they provide an explanation? Well, well, well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, my fellow repeat readers or repeat clients, if you may! Today I have a short story to bless your eyes and ears. Will it blow your mind? Maybe. Will it give you reason to come back here and check out more stories? Definitely!  I assume that most of you my readers are Nairobi residents and if not, you've been here at one point in your life. This is a notably great city with beautiful people, a people with a culture so rich everyone outside it wants to come have a taste. It is a hub of 'unity', or so they say. It's here that the assorted bunch of the various tribes come to link up, all forty two of them. Our relatives from the rurals are fascinated by this city, no wonder they gather around to hear tales of its craziness every time  Nairobians visit home for Christmas. The streets, as usual, are ever buz...

ROOFTOP

After exactly 3 months and 11 days, today I went back up the stairs to the rooftop of the apartment we stay at. Trembling and shaking, I kept taking a step after the next hoping to get to the top. Several times I kept thinking, …why go? …but kept at it regardless. On this rooftop, I had set a very calm meeting place with my Father. For about 3 months leading to the delivery of my darling baby girl, I'd come up here, do some simple workouts but most importantly have a daily tete-a-tete with Him. I couldn't and still can't wrap my head around the fatigue that comes with the 3rd trimester and rightly so, many times I contemplated not going up there. What made me keep up with the routine was the fact that I knew He was waiting for me and was eager to talk about how far and smooth my pregnancy journey was.   We'd talk about my hopes, dreams and plans for baby in my tummy. We'd discuss my maternity leave plans and among other things mostly just sit in the silence of dawn ...

What's success to you?

When I enrolled into University, my main goal was to succeed, that’s everyone’s goal at this point really. Time has passed by so quickly and the goal still remains the same. Many are times I tend to lose focus on this goal and I end up messing up big time. Life’s like a mountain, you’ve got to gather the strength to move up to the peak despite the strong wind that will try to block you from getting there. You might reach some point and get tired, or you lose the strength to move on but with your eyes fixed at the peak, all is gonna go smoother than you can imagine. But you've got to have the hunger to reach there, you’ve got to have the desire to acquire what’s at the peak, have fire in your belly, be proactive, strong-willed, optimistic and most of all prayerful. All that I think lies with what YOU think success is. There are gazillion definitions of success but I think every single person should have their own definition of this success we all very much want. What'...
