We believe that everybody is somebody therefore women should be treated fairly and equally.
We believe that every woman should be given equal opportunity for development.
We believe in dealing with everyone honestly and openly.
VIPEP is a girl child and women-based non-profit organization in Kenya that was started in 2010 with an aim to promote gender equality by championing initiatives that create opportunities for girls and women from disadvantaged backgrounds so that they may have equal chances to their male counterparts in sectors like education, leadership positions, career etc. We endeavor to achieve this through conducting policy research, campaigns and mentorship programs. We advocate for women’s rights and inspire girls and women to tap the power within them and be the change they want to see.
