Women of Integrity, Strength, and Hope (W.I.S.H.) is a leadership and empowerment program

Implemented over the four years of high school. Developed at Daraja, WISH amplifies the theory of change that when girls have the awareness, skills, and opportunities to be changemakers in their communities, they are empowered to reduce poverty and conflict in their lives, families, and community.

In addition to Daraja Academy, WISH is currently being taught in 6 public high schools in Laikipia County, reaching 690 girls each year. Daraja’s vision is to expand this WISH curriculum to over 5,000 girls by 2025.
