Dua Ya Dada
Dua Ya Dada is a girls-led initiative dedicated to amplifying the voices of girls and young women from underserved communities. Our mission is to create safe spaces where they can express their realities, advocate for their rights, and inspire social change.
At the heart of our work is storytelling through performance and digital arts—our key tool for advocacy and empowerment. We believe that when girls are given the space and tools to play, learn and tell their own stories, they become powerful advocates for themselves and their communities.
