Susan
Meet Susan. She is a pastoralist girl, 16 years old and living with her grandmother. At 16 she is still in primary school due to t he pastoralist life style, family problems and poverty. She is very bright but has been in and out of school due to the lack of school fees. She is in Class eight and should be taking her final primary examinations, the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education, this year.
The headmaster of the primary school confirmed that she is indeed bright and needy and deserves assistance. He can allow her to attend school without a uniform but she has no serviceable home clothes either.
Thanks to donors like you Susan is now back in school with a new uniform and supplies. She is grateful that she can continue her education, and have choices in her life.

Change is coming for the Ariemet Girl’s Center. Expanding Opportunities will be leaving the direct rescue operation to two other non profit organizations and building a School on the Ariemet site. The current rescue center will receive an addition and be used as a dormitory for rescued and other girls. The girls will receive protection, education and counseling. They will join other girls in education and along with them receive remedial and vocational education. We are very excited about this new development. We will continue to assist rescued and vulnerable girls in other areas with education and dormitory fees to help them remain in school protected from FGM and EFM. We trust donors will be pleased with this new direction as education is the power behind long term change for the girls.
Donations given through this project on Global Giving will be used exclusively for the education and other needs for girls in danger of FGM and EFM.

Teresa
Expanding Opportunities has been working with girls in Kipsing Academy for a few years. The head teacher, Maina Kiboi, is a hardworking advocate for girl child education. He collaborates with local officials to rescue girls from FGM and Early Forced Marriage and place them in school.
This young girl, Teresa, was rescued by the chief and taken to Kipsing Academy to attend school. Maina sought a sponsor for her and Expanding Opportunities stepped in to assist. It is a joyous day when we can say, Maina, we have her covered. Thanks to your donations we are able to assist in these emergency situations and accept a new girl without hesitation.
