From Bula Barwaqo to a Better Wajir: Why We Must Choose Merit Over Tribe

Image
  This past weekend, WAJIR YOUTH FOR YOUTH AND DEVELOPMENT sat beneath the acacia trees of Bula Barwaqo with a circle of community elders, women, and youth—some seated on woven mats, others standing under the harsh sun, all with one purpose: to talk truthfully about leadership in Wajir.

We visited SABUNLEY BOYS, WAJIR GIRLS AND SENIOR ADAN GIRLS But then, something deeply troubling emerged. In nearly every girls’ school we visited, a painful truth surfaced: menstrual-related stress is silently stealing away the dignity, confidence, and education of our girls. Many of them come from families that can barely afford daily meals, let alone sanitary pads. Some girls miss school during the...
