The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Celebrating International Day of the Girl 2025

Around the world, girls are rising—confronting the toughest challenges of our time with courage, conviction, and creativity. This International Day of the Girl, we honor their strength and their vision for a more just and equitable world.

Inspired by this year’s global theme, “The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead: Girls on the Frontlines of Crisis,” we present a special zine that brings these realities to life. It pairs harrowing data about the challenges girls face in Kenya and around the world with the powerful voices of Kakenya’s Dream students, alumnae, and staff, girls and young women who are not only imagining solutions, but leading them.
