Empowering Change, Together

Our growth has been shaped by community trust, partnerships, and a commitment to building solutions that are grounded, inclusive, and sustainable.

Who We Are

The Hijabi Mentorship Program (THMP) is a community-rooted, women-led organization advancing justice, dignity, and choice for girls and women in coastal Kenya and beyond.

Founded in 2018, we work at the intersection of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response, economic empowerment, and peacebuilding. Our work is grounded in the belief that faith and culture are not barriers to gender justice — but powerful entry points for change.

We partner with communities, institutions, and movements to challenge harmful norms, strengthen systems, and support girls and women to exercise agency, leadership, and voice in their own lives and communities.

Driving Impact, An Action at a Time

Guided by purpose and driven by collective action, we are committed to empowering individuals, organizations, and communities to create change today while shaping a just and sustainable future for tomorrow.

What We Stand for & Believe Together

Over seven years, the Hijabi Mentorship Program has driven measurable change across communities, systems, and policies in Kwale County and beyond.

We believe in the power of collective action. By uniting voices and efforts, we strive to protect human rights, defend justice, promote equality, and take bold steps against climate change.

Feminism

Our work is rooted in and guided by the Charter of Feminist Principles for African Feminists. feminism is about equality and equity for women in every field, socially, economically and politically.

Care

Care is very essential to us, as it forms a major part of our work in the community and how we operate as a team. It means love, compassion and empathy. This means that for us to provide care to the outside, we need to be able to give it to one another. This wellness from collective care in turn trickles down to our work with the community..

Integrity

We are committed to walking the talk and holding ourselves accountable to the people we work with and for. We rely on facts and strive for excellence in the work that we do. We expect effective and ethical community practices. .
