Sudi Noor
The Girl Power Action Initiative
Originally from Somalia, now residing in Kenya, Sudi runs The Girl Power Action Initiative - a grassroots movement-women-led org dedicated to empowering girls in the Kakuma refugee camps and Kaloboyei settlement.
The initiative promotes gender equality for girls, seeking to destigmatize menstruation by availing menstrual hygiene solutions such as reusable sanitary pads, to improve cleanliness and restore their dignity.
By engaging women and girls, this platform also allows for comprehensive reproductive health education and Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) to promote their safety and well-being.
Through mentorship programs and social media engagement, the Girl Power Initiative advocates and amplifies the voices of refugee girls, boosting their confidence to pursue their passions beyond their current situation.
As an embodiment of empowerment herself, Sudi is dedicated to transforming the lives of refugee girls in her community. She remains a beacon of hope in building the foundation for a dignified life.
