In Swahili, the word huru means freedom. It signifies independence and personal growth, concepts that Huru International was built on. We believe that all girls should be free to lead healthy, happy lives and have access to a proper education.

Our mission is to empower young girls living in poverty to become self-sufficient.

We have begun in Kenya, providing free Huru Kits packed with reusable sanitary napkins and other essential feminine products, as well as life-saving information on HIV/AIDS prevention.

Encourage local, sustainable job development

The resources each Kit provides are designed to inspire dreams of greater possibilities. By purchasing a Huru Kit today, you too can help a young girl claim her independence
