Sky Girls, a social program of teen girls has debuted a brand-new teen mini-series drama titled Paa-Born to fly.
The series that stars an all-Kenyan ensemble highlights the tale of three teenage girls living in Nairobi and coping with the everyday challenges of social pressure, sexual harassment, bullying, and self-identity crisis.
Coming from different backgrounds, these three girls are influenced by each other to make both positive and negative decisions.
The drama series written by Davina Leonard and produced by EnosOlik intends to delve into the lives of teens in order to motivate them to make healthy choices, resulting in behavioural transformation.
SKY Girls Kenya began its journey in September 2020 with a mandate to connect, educate and inform teenage girls between the ages of 13-18 years within greater Nairobi.
“We teach girls to make choices that are true to their values, beliefs. We also teach them refusal mechanisms. Many times teenage girls are susceptible to negative influence by the community around them because they are still navigating their identity crisis,” said Svetlana Polikarpova, Lead of the Sky Girls KE.

Rehema Muniu, Spokesperson & Sky Parent highlights;
‘There are so many pressures on girls today. It is important that as communities we take the time to understand the way these young girls live their lives; their hopes, fears, aspirations. Through doing so we can create programs that allow our Kenyan girls choice and control to feel empowered’.
