- Ending Sex for Fish Around Lake Victoria
Welcome to Wa Wa Kenya
Founded in 2019 by Cavin Odera, WA-WA Kenya is a registered non-governmental organization based in the Mbita region along the shores of Lake Victoria in Homa Bay County.
The organization was established to combat the harmful “sex-for-fish” practice by empowering women and girls in fishing communities through sustainable livelihood opportunities, education, and social support programs. WA-WA Kenya is committed to improving the economic independence and well-being of vulnerable women and adolescent girls around the Lake Victoria region.
In addition, the organization works to build strategic partnerships with institutions, community groups, and development organizations to expand access to quality education, adolescent development programs, and child protection initiatives. Through its work, WA-WA Kenya strives to promote transformed communities, institutions, and policies that uphold and protect the rights of children, especially vulnerable girls living in fisher communities across Homa Bay County.
