Ripples International (RI) was founded by Mr. Chidi and Mrs Mercy Chidi-Baidoo in the year 2000. They were inspired to serve HIV affected children at a time when the HIV pandemic was killing a lot of people in Kenya. The organisation works on the protection and promotion of women’s bodily rights in Kenya and advocates against sexual violence. The grant will be used as a core grant to support the work of the institution. Ripples International will strengthen its work around the promotion and protection of women’s economic rights.
