Cherish Others has continued to work to pursue both the well-being of girls in Transmara. A very important part of this work is involving parents, community leaders, and boys to support ending early marriage and FGM, and ensuring that girls get a good education.
As part of these efforts, Cherish Others donated two motorbikes to young men in the community who are supporting our efforts. One is a young man who has started teaching at a mixed primary school. He is helping by sensitizing the girls and the boys to these issues. He also serves as a good role model for the students.
The other is a young man who dropped out of high school, but who, through hard work, has managed to support himself. He is helping sensitize boys and girls to the importance of remaining in school. He shares with them the hardships he has encountered from not finishing school and shares with them the lessons he has learned on the importance of education.
We greatly appreciate the continuing support of our donors who make these efforts possible.
