Women Like Us Foundation: Together Changing the World

Making a difference in the lives of women and families in Kenya

I have in the palm of my hands and the core of my being, the ability to make a difference for women. Through diversity, inclusion, kindness and love we can continue  changing the world.  We are coming together in these important times to change the world. Please join us.

Please watch the 18-minute documentary, When She Can Learn- She Can Earn, created by our staff, Jacky Misenoi and Edwin Omini. Your donation will help the Women Like Us Center continue with a new piece of land and building and much more.

We’re so proud of the work and perseverance our staff, teachers, women, teen moms, and community have helped our women and teen moms move on to better economic stability.  And we still have more to do!

Please join us for our Annual Fundraiser to educate women in Kenya and continue their economic stability and live their best lives.

Our Newest Program

Educating Teen Mothers
Confidence.  Character.  Courage.

The Women Like Us Foundation is helping teen mothers and pregnant teens find a stronger future and build economically stable lives for themselves and their children. These young mothers come to the Women Like Us Center because they cannot attend school with their children.  At the Center, they learn the importance of nutrition for both themselves and their children. They also learn about breastfeeding and how to properly care for their children. Through participation in sewing and computer classes, they develop employable skills.
