School drop out rates 📖 Spot the trend. Once girls hit puberty the drop out rate is huge, as teenage girls are SOLD by families for livestock, and many face utter shame and embarrassment surrounding their menstruation so much so that they leave school. 3 girls out of 74 actually finish... ——————————————————— I’ve never wanted to set up an NGO before, but honestly I’m not sure I can walk away from this. My posts are loud these days, with governors reading, other NGO’s messaging me offering support and many media outlets - I know that. I know that we are raising awareness with posts like this. But I can’t help feel whilst on this flight home, that I can do more. What do you guys think ? #ngo #charity #period #womensrights #africa #kenya #onelove #equality #worlderlust #epictravels #runnersheal #coopsrun #onelife #travel #instatravel #dogood

Visit no11 comes to an end... ✈️ 🇰🇪 It’s been emotional. As always hunger pulls my heart strings, and @runnersheal will try and do what we can up here in Turkana. ——————————————————— Secondly, the struggles of the women here has hit me hard. I was aware of issues, but seeing and hearing first hand has given me a strong motivation to want to try and do my bit to help. ———————————————————- But finally thanks again to all of you who are buying and supporting @runnersheal . To be over 200,000 school meals is incredible and you are giving me a platform to shout from the roof tops of issues that just simply shouldn’t exist. #runnersheal #werunthis #kenya #turkana #runnersworld #socialentrepreneur #worlderlust #marathontraining #nyahururu #dogood #coopsrun #instarunners #instatravel #epictravel #poverty #reliefaid #womensrights #tattoos

Sound on. 1 min fire video of today’s lunch in Turkana. Full VLOG’s will be uploaded when I’m back in Europe, but couldn’t wait to share this snippet. You guys supporting us to be able to do this, are simply the best 😍 #worlderlust #kenya #turkana #runnersheal #werunthis #rice #dogood #epictravels

Meal drop 11 done @runnersheal 🇰🇪 And it looks like another school to add to the support network, and this one here in Turkana is heartbreaking. It’s a Sunday, but because food was on the menu thanks to us, the turnout was full. Many of the children sleep on the floor after school, as conditions here are better than home. Water is a long walk away, food is a struggle and classroom conditions are almost impossible. —————————————————- On behalf of the children, teachers and parents of Ngimurai Primary School, I’d like to say a thank you to everyone who is buying @runnersheal shirts and helping us grow to be able to afford to do what we do. You are the best ❤️ #runnersheal #werunthis #coopsrun #instarunners #morethanaT #kenya #turkana #onelove #sundayrunday #dogood #socialentrepreneur

No Fear, No Shame 🇰🇪 These girls shared with me their tragic stories of life as a woman in Turkana. There needs to be no fear to be a woman, no shame around natural processes and equality must be forced. ——————————————————- I have heard stories of girls selling themselves to pay for basic needs. Girls using torn clothes as a sanitary pad. Girls bleeding on their school uniforms and never returning back to school. Girls forced to have more children. Girls trapped in marriages because their husband “ paid “ for them to their parents. Girls unable to make any decisions without consulting the man of the house. ——————————————————- To say I am heartbroken is an understatement. I’m going to put something together to raise awareness, and hopefully supply sanitary solutions here. I hope you will join me as this story is just not acceptable... #turkana #kenya #womenshealth #womensrights #period #equality #socialentrepreneur #runnersworld #worlderlust #epictravels #oneworld #onelife #noboundaries #crisis #dogood #coopsrun #runnersheal #werunthis

Turkana updates 🇰🇪 Rebecca found. First words to us, what that she was happy as she had prayed to god every day in the last month that she would stay alive before I arrive. How to break me in one minute... “ Women are powerless, the man makes the decisions “ . “ men are superior to us, and when they own us it is our job to keep them satisfied “ . ————————————————- I know we had the conversation the other day about traditions and culture, but this is one of those that I struggle with accepting. Infact no, I refuse to accept. #worlderlust #turkana #womenshealth #womensrights #runnersheal #equality #oneworld #onelove #humanrights #humanity #africa #kenya
