Tareto Maa is a community based organization that aims to overcome the cruel traditions of female circumcision and child marriage within the Maasai community. We built a rescue center which currently shelters 104 girls who refused to be circumcised and to be married by force and who were cast out by their families. We take care of the costs for food, clothes, and education for these children. In addition, we run information campaigns on child rights and child health in the local community. progress reportread updates from the field

The team returned from the evaluation trip to our project in Bware with many inspiring stories from the one-on-one interviews. Our trainers know how to provide emergency care! Saddest news was the death in childbirth of a mother of seven in a neighboring village (where the project has not yet reached). We need your help to bring the project to this area! progress reportread updates from the field
