Our mission is to support girls and women in need. We focus on Kenya by counselling girls together with their schools, provide accessable medical preventive care and support where necessary together with our local partners. We work sustainable by enabling local partners to deliver the prevention, support, care and treatment according to their regulations and what they feel is neccessary. We have no political or religous mission. We work according to the sustainable development goals 1,3,4,5,10 and 17 by the UN. The UN introduced 2015 the sustainable development goals in order to achieve worldwide improvements for people in respect of health, safe environement, democratic rights and education. The former Millenium Development goals, set 2000, could not meet their target in 2015. Millenium Development Goal 5 was a reduction of maternal mortality by 3/4 until 2015. Only a reduction of 44% was achieved. The SDG now aims at a maternal mortality rate of 70/100.00 maternities or less. At present, the maternal mortality rate in Kenya is 400/100.000,(1) meaning 6.400 women dying each year during pregnancy and childbirth. Nearly half of these deaths are attributed to unintended pregnancies and unsafe abortion. 45% of women requesting abortion were younger than 19 years and did not use family planning methods prior to pregnancy (2). Females suffer from poor education and poor information of physiologic processes like menstruation and fertility. Taboos regarding these phenomena are still in place in underpriviledged parts of society in Kenya. These periodpoverty must end. These horrible figures cry for action by simply providing medical assistance able to deal with family planning, ante natal care and experienced gynae services if necessary. Kenya has a well organized health system, free medical care is guaranteed for everyone. Medical care is provided by governemental institutions, private institutions, and faith based organizations. Poor patients are waived if possible in the private sector and treated for free in the faith based organisations.Kenya is establishing a health insurance at present. Contributions are low. Reality unfortunately shows, that even the low contributions are too high, people can not afford the low charges in public hospitals , especially if young and female. There is an considerably equity gap between the social classes and the rural compared to the urban areas (3).The offer of antenatal care and preventive measures like cancer screening are not taken up by marginalized people in dire straits. Young girls need education regarding menstruation, physiologic female cycle, prevention of sexual transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy. Access to menstral hygiene products is necessary to achieve that girls can go to school, do not suffer lack of education just because they menstruate and can achieve the same level of ecucation as their male classmates.

To improve the quality of life of children, young people and women living in the slum through the provision of quality education, affordable housing, health care and socio economic empowerment Akili Girls Preparatory School strives to provide underprivileged girls in Kisumu County with affordable quality education that will help them to break the cycle of poverty. The project goal is to generate sufficient income through focussing on horticulture, poultry, dairy cows, and renewable energy systems so as to meet educational, nutritional and medical support needs of the girls we support. This project aims to support at least 200 orphans and vulnerable girls between 3 and 14 years by the year 2020. The primary target group are girls from the lowest income populations, particularly those who are affected by the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Obunga slum and Obambo village in Kisumu County. We will enroll 5 fee paying students in every class to enable parents who are able to pay fees to participate in the education of needy girls. The strategy we have adopted to provide quality education to these girls is through the establishment of a boarding school known as Akili Girls Preparatory School which will provide holistic education that addresses both the physical and emotional needs of the girls while creating dignity through self-reliance
