The mentorship training for the arid land vulnerable girls have been an eye opener to the community of the Maasai people.Since our last report we have seen progressive change to the community.The feedback we have got from the parents of the girls we are mentoring is that they want their girls to continue with school and go up to university level.
The cultural of this community is deeply rooted and girls are married off immediately after circumcision.This creates a very big risk to education for girls because it means an end to education.The Masaai girls are torn between keeping their cultural practices and miss out on education or skip some of the traditions and be educated.We are working with the parents , teachers community leaders and the children in the mentorship.We have role models from this community that will help in the gradual transition of the mind set of the community.
We call to action to our donors and kind supporters to fundraise for this course .Partner with us to educate the girls who the Future of the world.Tell your friends about us .Come volunteer with us too during your free time and help make a difference.If we want to directly get involved you can get in touch with us through (info@hopeforteenagemothers.org).
