Story

Support Grace’s Mission with UHUMANS & The Vayyu Foundation in Kenya – 2026

Hi, I’m Grace, a proud Miss England finalist and a qualified dancer, and I’m honoured to be an ambassador for UHUMANS – a global movement tackling urgent humanitarian issues like gender inequality, gender-based violence, and the lack of access to basic needs such as menstrual and sanitary products.

In early 2026, I’ll be travelling with The Vayyu Foundation to Kenya, where we’ll be visiting underprivileged schools and communities to:

✨ Raise awareness around menstrual health and provide sanitary products to girls who would otherwise miss school every month.

✨ Educate young people about gender equality and stopping gender-based violence, helping build safer, more respectful communities.

✨ Connect humanitarian action with environmental action by working with schools and communities to plant mangroves and take part in beach clean-ups – restoring ecosystems while restoring dignity.

Why This Matters

In many schools across East Africa, girls drop out or miss classes simply because they don’t have access to sanitary towels. This not only impacts education, but also perpetuates cycles of inequality and vulnerability.

At the same time, gender-based violence continues to harm lives and futures. Through UHUMANS, we’re creating safe spaces, education programs, and conversations that empower young women and engage men as allies.

By tying this to conservation efforts like mangrove planting and ocean clean-ups, we are also teaching the next generation that protecting our planet is inseparable from protecting people.

How You Can Help

Your support will:

💜 Provide sanitary products to girls in underprivileged schools

💜 Fund school workshops on gender equality, respect, and anti-violence

💜 Help with mangrove planting and coastal conservation projects

💜 Support the wider UHUMANS mission to address humanitarian and environmental needs together

Be Part of the Change

As a Miss England finalist and dancer, I’ve been given a platform – and I want to use it to give back. This isn’t just about one trip – it’s about starting a movement of dignity, equality, and sustainability.

With your donation, we can give young people in Kenya (and beyond) the tools to thrive, while also protecting the planet we share.

🙏 Every contribution, big or small, makes a direct difference.

Thank you for standing with us.

Together, we are UHUMANS.
