"She teaches me what she learns. She’s not the same woman anymore.”
That was the voice of one proud husband at the Fanikisha Graduation Ceremony in Dagoretti on Tuesday, July 1st — and it perfectly captured what made this day unforgettable.
After six months of commitment, learning, and personal growth, 77 women walked across the stage with more than certificates. They walked with purpose. With confidence. With joy. They had trained in business and cookery, but what they took home reached far beyond class notes and recipes.

The most moving part of the day wasn’t just seeing the women smile — it was hearing from the people who love them. Spouses and family members stood up to speak, not out of formality, but out of awe. They shared how these women had started teaching them about budgeting, record keeping, planning, and goal setting. One said, “My wife has become our financial manager at home.” Another whispered, “I see her differently now.”

These women didn’t just transform their own lives — they’ve started changing the fabric of their families and communities. The ripple is real. The impact is visible.
At Kianda Foundation, we believe empowering one woman empowers an entire household. And on this beautiful day in Dagoretti, we saw that truth unfold — one testimony, one certificate, one radiant smile at a time.
