Girl child education is not viewed as a priority among the Masai community. the practice of FGM and early marriages denies girls a chance to complete their education. girls who are lucky to get an education are married off if they get pregnant and drop out of school. these challenges leads to a high level of illiteracy among women as girls as young as 9 years are married off.
