ONE HAND INITIATIVE
“Hold the hand of one Kenyan girl through high school and a university education…with love, support, guidance and encouragement. This is love on its feet.”
– Christine Musimbi Vulimu, “Auntie Joy”“Education is the equalizer for girls in Kenya.”
Visionary, One Hand Initiative (OHI)
Educating girls in Kenya empowers girls to break free from poverty and gender inequality. An education equips girls to thrive, contribute to their communities, and build a brighter future for themselves, their families, and society at large.
Uplifting Lives
August 2023
Mildred, who placed first in her Form 3 (11th grade) class, was sexually assaulted during the pandemic. She became pregnant and had her baby, living in Nairobi’s largest slum. One Hand Initiative (OHI) picked her up and Mildred was able to finish High School. In 2024, she completed her first year of university.

Christine’s desire to educate girls led her to Dorcas.
Through OHI , Dorcas was given the opportunity to get an education. She was able to avoid the traditional life of young girls (ages 11-14) in her community to be married off to older men in her tribe.
After studying Fashion and Design and graduating in 2023, Dorcas returned to school to become a teacher of sewing at School of IVET and Technical Education in 2024.
Inspiring Hope
Christine gives motivational talks to girls to encourage them in their studies. She is much loved!
