Evelyn from Kenya: Everyday A Girl #EDAG
By Duke Sangara
This is Evelyn, she is 28 years
old. She is a social worker and volunteer in one of the local university in
Kisii town, Nyanza province- Kenya.
Evelyn likes her family so much,
for her family and community wellness comes first.
Every day she wakes up early in the
morning, to prepare her daughter for school and herself to for work.
The young lady is ambitious that
one day all her dreams and aspirations will be fulfilled to a level of self
sustainability. But currently for what she has, she offers it back to society.
As most other women in her society, house chores
are a priority since she understands that cleanliness is next to godliness.
As soon as she finishes washing
clothes, she sweeps the compound and winds up on other house- based activities.
Evelyn is also an active campaigner
against Female Genital mutilation and Gender based violence.
She prepares herself to head to the
university where she works closely in student affairs as a social worker and
volunteer. Her normal day is always incomplete without a positive contribution
for better society.
The story of Everyday a Girl, tagged #EDAG, is a glance into the lives of ordinary women through a series of poignant photo stories. These series of images will visually express the roles, challenges, activities and duties that females in diverse communities face in their daily lives.

This campaign highlights that gender equality and equity, woman empowerment, and safety for the girls is key to the world’s socio-economic development.
