At Jonica Foundation, we exist because too many Women and Girls in Kenya are left invisible, unheard, and unsupported. Every day, mothers, widows, and vulnerable Women and Girls face challenges that are not just personal, they are systemic. These challenges are compounded by poverty, social stigma, and gaps in the healthcare system, creating cycles of exclusion that affect Women and Girls, their families, and entire communities.

Despite national progress, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) gaps persist:

• Millions of Women and Girls struggle to access accurate health information about their bodies, fertility, menopause, and family planning. Without this knowledge, they face preventable complications, unplanned pregnancies, and lifelong health risks.
• Economic barriers prevent Women and Girls from seeking essential care or building sustainable livelihoods, keeping families trapped in poverty. Studies show that Women and Girls with economic insecurity are less likely to access health services, perpetuating cycles of poor health and vulnerability.
• Silenced voices mean that the lived experiences of Women and Girls, particularly those facing marginalization, violence, or social exclusion are rarely represented in policies, programs, or community conversations.
• Social and cultural norms often stigmatize Women and Girls’s health concerns, forcing them to hide or ignore critical issues, from reproductive disorders like PCOS to family planning decisions, menopause, and fertility challenges.

We exist because these gaps are unacceptable, and we know they can be bridged. Jonica Foundation believes that every woman deserves:

• Knowledge to understand her body and make informed choices.
• Access to health services without fear, stigma, or financial burden.
• Voice to share her story, be heard, and influence the world around her.
• Opportunity to build economic independence and secure her family’s future.
