ELIZA finishes primary school!! this may not seem like such a wonderful announcement but for pastoralist girls it is a major milestone! Eliza is one of the girls we sponsor for her boarding fees at Kipsing Primary. Most Samburu girls live with the constant fear of being taken from school for FGM and early marriage. To finish primary school is an enormous milestone!
As the Kenyan teachers are on strike, she has not yet received any invitations to attend secondary school. The principal of Kipsing Primary School is present on site at the school and is working to convince the parents of the girls who completed primary school to allow them to continue and finish High School. We also plan to continue support for Eliza into high school. It is donors like you that make this possible. Without you Eliza would have been forced to drop from school and marry early. THANK YOU.
