Hello! Lenana Girls High School in Kitale, Kenya, has good news! The national 2023 GREEN KIDS AWARDS chose Gloria Vienda as First Runner-Up in the Individual Student category, and Lenana Girls’ High School was nationally the overall winner of the Green Kids Awards!

Gloria presented on sustainable farming, and the work Lenana Girls’ High School is doing to develop sanitary pads from sugar cane waste, the Nalena Pad Project. Learning to use PowerPoint and other electronics at the National Theater was a new and exciting challenge for the contestants.

Green Kids Awards is a festival celebrating Kenyan children doing exemplary work toward environmental sustainability and reducing climate change. Participation in the contest is a fantastic boost for less fortunate girls and young women on their path to success. Lift the Lid and our partner in Kenya, Common Ground for Africa, are committed to helping girls realize their full potential in academics and co-curricular activities.

Your support is essential for the long-term development of generations of women in Africa and beyond. We are so grateful you made this win a reality!
