Sauti ya Dada

A Podcast by Girls, for Girls

Constantly adapting, our field staff is utilizing podcasts to support and build leadership in our Sauti ya Dada program and beyond. This podcast is by girls, for girls.

This means in it you will hear from girls in East Africa about how they are coping with the pandemic, the biggest challenges they face, the impacts of climate change, and of course, finding joy in girlhood.

The first episode of Season 1 launches on October 11, 2021. Mark your calendars and listen to the introduction today!
