Protecting Girls from Genital Mutilation in Kenya

It is with great joy we would like to shade light to you that your support to us is so special. To day we would wish to bring to your attention the story of one of our workers.

JAMES SAITOTI SIDAI

Saitoti is a child to the late David Sidai and Narikulmurran Sidai. They were the people who sold the piece of land to Toreto Maa organization. The young man remained a single parent child.

He has five sisters and one brother. They are seven in their family. His late father David married two wives. The other wife has three daughters and three sons. After the demise of the father, Saitoti assumed the family responsibilities as young as he was in class six where he dropped from school.

Nevertheless, his elder sisters were married earlier after F.G.M. His younger brother also dropped from school after his K.C.P.E. because he lacked necessary support to continue with his studies. The two younger sisters are both in class 7 at Naitawang Riverside Academy sponsored by Tareto Maa Organization.

The fatherless young man also married earlier and he has two children now. He has also been struggling as a bread winner to his siblings. He worked as a security officer in many places especially in the region around Mt. Kenya, western and many other places. He had also been spending the little income for rent, food and other expenses leading him not sending anything home.

The gentleman later secured a vacancy at Tareto Maa Organization as a security officer. He appreciates working within and the little he earns benefits him and the entire family fully for there are no more expenses. The salary is of great assistance to him. He thanks you so such.
