Educating a Generation
Educating the Community

Students at a community school.

MGEF's Literacy Program
provides scholarships for girls who would otherwise never go to school and those who would have to end their education early for cultural or economic reasons.
MGEF is committed to helping each of its students achieve economic independence through secondary school, vocational school, or college.

MGEF's Life Skills Program
extends the benefits of the Literacy Program through workshops to teach the life skills that can prevent teen pregnancy, reduce early marriages, and reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS -- all significant factors contributing to girls' dropping out of school.

MGEF's Rural Women's Education Program teaches practical skills to the vast majority of rural Maasai women who have little or no formal education, yet have complete responsibility for the health, nutrition, and well-being of themselves and their children.

MGEF's Community Education Program
addresses the social and economic impact of HIV/AIDS, cultural attitudes that contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS, AIDS and female circumcision, and the prevention of HIV/AIDS.
