For the past five years, we have listened to 3.5 million underserved women and girls and are turning their voices into action to tackle preventable maternal and newborn deaths.
Our story
A torch in one hand, hope in the other
"I held a torch in one hand and hope in the other, knowing that together we could light the way for millions."
~ Angela Nguku - Founder & Executive Director
Our approach
Ask
We begin by asking women and girls what they truly need. Their voices guide every decision we make, ensuring our work reflects their lived realities and aspirations.
Listen
Listening deeply and without judgment, we create safe spaces where women share their stories, challenges, and dreams. These conversations become the foundation for meaningful change.
ACT
We transform what we hear into action advocating for policy changes, developing programmes, and mobilising communities. When women speak, we ensure decision-makers listen and respond.
Our 4Ps framework
Our programs
Our work is anchored in the lived truths and realities of women and girls who are the real experts of their reproductive, maternal and newborn health and wellbeing. Their voices guide everything we do. Through our four core program pillars, we catalyse women, girls and communities to drive change and hold systems accountable to the people they serve. Everything we do is rooted in a single commitment: every woman and girl deserves quality, equitable and dignified reproductive, maternal and newborn care.
Our What Women Want campaigns
Real voices. Real demands. Real change. Our campaigns are born from the conversations we have with women across Kenya—transforming their hopes into movements that reshape policies and save lives.
Our impact through the women and girls action network for change
Our stories
At WRA Kenya, we believe that the experts of their own lives are the women and girls we serve. That's why we don't just hold meetings in boardrooms; we meet people where they are: in clinics, at marketplaces, by water points, and during community gatherings. This isn't just a strategy; it's our Ask, Listen, Act Power Approach in action.
