United Hands of Hope (UHHC) Empowers Young Girls Through Talent Development to Combat Femicide
Nairobi, Kenya – United Hands of Hope, led by Gen. Michael Harrison, launched the 4th edition of its Talent Development Awareness Campaign at Kaani Lions Girls School, reinforcing the power of talent as a tool for social change.
Under the theme “Talent Development as a Tool to Fight Femicide,” the campaign aimed to empower young girls by nurturing their skills and talents, promoting respect, discipline, and purpose as key elements in preventing gender-based violence.
Serving as the chief guest, Dr. Marietta Reformado delivered an inspiring speech, urging students to embrace self-expression and skill-building as pathways to empowerment. “Harnessing one’s talents not only builds confidence but also creates opportunities for safer, more inclusive communities,” she emphasized.
The event was attended by United Hands of Hope CEO, Gen. Michael Harrison, alongside Angelique Harrison, Capt. Allan Nicholas Maina, the organization’s director, and Dr. Reformado as the Guest of Honor. Their participation underscored the organization’s commitment to mentorship, education, and leadership development as key strategies to steer youth toward positive engagement and away from violence.
Students participated in interactive workshops, mentorship sessions, and leadership activities, equipping them with practical tools for confidence-building and personal growth. Dr. Reformado stressed the importance of continuous support and guidance, stating, “With the right mentorship, these young minds can transform their talents into lasting success and positive societal change.”
As part of its ongoing efforts, United Hands of Hope announced a Talent Scouting event scheduled for March 30, 2025, designed to identify and nurture young talent while providing a platform for students to showcase their abilities.
