Impact Stories

Real Voices. Real Change.

At Siaya Education Project (SEP), impact isn’t just measured in numbers—it’s heard in voices, seen in transformed lives, and felt in every story of resilience, growth, and opportunity. Our beneficiaries—young women, students, teen mothers, and community members—share their journeys in their own words. These stories are a testament to the power of education, mentorship, and feminist, youth-led community action.

🎓 Isaac Oduor - SEP Scholarship Programme Beneficiary

💬 Young Voices from the SRHR Programme

👩🏾‍🦱 Shirleen Lynety - Peer Educator, SEP Beneficiary

“Before SEP, I didn’t know how to take care of myself. Now I can confidently say no to things I don’t want. I’ve learned that giving birth isn’t the end—you can rise again. Today, I’m a peer educator, helping others find their strength too.” “The IEC materials are easy to read and understand. They taught us about contraception, life skills, goals, and how to take care of ourselves. We can even translate them into our own language when needed.”
👧🏽 Lynet Atieno - Peer Educator, SEP Beneficiary

“I used to struggle to speak or face problems, but since joining SEP, I’ve gained the courage to teach, to talk to my parents, and to overcome challenges. I feel like a new person.”

“The CSE program taught me how to teach others—how to stand in front of a class, explain clearly, and ask the right questions. The materials are so easy to use, we didn’t even need translations.”
🎓 Mitchelle Oduor - Peer Educator, SEP Beneficiary

“I learned how to protect myself from pregnancy and STIs by using condoms. I now know that early pregnancy is not the end—I can go back to school and still achieve my dreams.” “The materials we used were very easy to understand. SEP gave me tools I never had before.”
