Empower Maasai Girls in Kenya

Dear Friends,

We have had an incredibly succesful year so far thanks to your support. Not only do we have 106 scholarship students in school, but we continue to deliver life skills workshops to girls and boys and Women's Business Trainings to women in rural Maasai communitiies. So far this year, 90 new businesses have been created, increasing the income for each participant and also improving the lives of each participant's family. These women are spending this new income on school fees for their children, medical expenses, and other education related expenses. We are looking forward to expanding this impactful program in the coming months and years.

MGEF's Washington, D.C. office has also added a new team member. Heather McKay is the new Director of Finance and Programs. She brings a deep belief in justice and a passion for girls and women's empowerment. She willl be traveling with an MGEF team to Kenya this week to monitor programs, meet with students, work with MGEF-Kajiado staff, and attend workshops. We look forward to sharing stories and pictures upon our return!

MGEF is stronger than ever. Evidence of the impact of each program is apparent with each student graduating and becoming a professional woman, each girl who goes home to her village feeling empowered to stand up for her rights, each woman who feels proud of her ability to care for her children, and each man who sees the value of education in a new light. We could not do this work without your support. Thank you!
