The Tharaka Women Welfare Program (TWWP) was originally established in 1996 under the name “Ntanira Na Mugambo,” which translates to “Circumcision with Words” with the primary mission of eradicating Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) in Tharaka. Our community approach includes different interventions in promoting foundational literacy and a reading culture in Tharaka through remote & fixed libraries, providing access to education and mentorship to girls, and enhancing the overall quality of life for girls and women in the community through social economic empowerment.
Through our programs, we tackle real-world challenges and foster meaningful, sustainable progress.

Over the years, this vision has taken shape in ways that continue to inspire me.
