What we do
In Kenya, like other African nations, it can be clearly seen that it is local women leaders who show courage and resilience in the midst of adversity. They learn to adapt to increase their effectiveness. They learn to not work alone. They understand the importance of working with other like-minded women to achieve their goals in providing support to poor and vulnerable children, women and families.
Manasprings recognises the strength within the many small grassroots organisations. We want to champion grassroots leaders. We recognise there are many thousands of small grassroots organisations across Kenya, so it’s not a question of scaling up to have more, but rather of networking, inspiring and up-skilling those women leaders and their organisations to influence sustainable solutions for positive change.
The women leaders we work with represent not for profit organisations, who are supporting and educating orphaned and vulnerable children, assisting HIV+ women and their children, providing small enterprise opportunities to disadvantaged women, advocating for child rights and child protection, providing health care services to impoverished communities, and also working across the country in peace and reconciliation.
Manasprings bottom up approach with women leaders has the possibility to touch many lives across Kenya and beyond its borders.
Manasprings Leaders Events
At Manasprings, we bring women community leaders together for one to three days, creating a safe and encouraging environment for women to connect, learn and inspire. Women are empowered to tell their own stories of courage, compassion and commitment. Women forge strong relationships with others serving in the community. Women learn from each other and from guest facilitators as we focus on personal, professional and organisational growth.
The Manasprings Leaders Events are paramount to the empowerment of women as leaders within their communities, where women learn principled teachings on ethical leadership, connect with like-minded leaders in order to bring solutions to local, challenging issues, and where we can champion inclusive and accountable leaders who seek to transform their communities. Manasprings events are a meaningful way of building each other up.
Manasprings Community
We are born to help one another. We are born to connect with community. When we serve one another, we experience a deep contentment.
Manasprings facilitates ‘in-field’ learning that takes place within community schools, health centres, children’s homes, community groups, agricultural settings and more.
We become stronger leaders by seeing first-hand what other like-minded leaders are actually doing. We learn from each other. Our organisations grow stronger.
We champion Mana women and their local organisations! And in doing so, help raise funds to support their projects - a bus for a school, water for a children’s home or emergency food and shelter.
