Polycom girls - Gpende

Polycom Girls is a Pan-African feminist, women-led NGO based in Kenya. Founded in 2004, it was established in response to rising incidents of sexual violence, exploitation and harassment faced by girls and women in Kibera, the largest informal settlement in sub-saharan Africa.

Our Strategic Pillars

To achieve our mandate,we are guided by seven Strategic Pillars.

The "Talking Boxes" of Kibera

To amplify the voices of the girls at risk of sexual harassment and sexual abuse, we have installed Talking Boxes in 50 schools to enable us to respond to the issues raised through the Talking Boxes and to mentor over 3000 adolescent girls annually on Sexual Reproductive Health and Life skills.
