Workshops for Girls
Girls will learn life skills that can prevent teen pregnancy, reduce early marriages, defend against pressures for casual sex, and reduce the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Workshops for Women
Life Skills Workshops are open to the mothers of students to reinforce the lessons taught to the girls. Other workshops for women are designed to teach practical skills,such as nutrition and agriculture, and microbusiness, that will give a measure of independence to women.
Workshops for Boys
The goals of workshops for boys is to instill respect for girls and women and to reduce teen pregnancy, female genital mutilation, the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
Workshops for Chiefs and Elders
Workshops for chiefs and elders are part of a strategy to enlist men in the effort to educate girls, end early marriage and FGM, and prevent the spread of HIV. They are essential to our mission because men have all of the decision-making power in the Maasai culture.
Read why these workshops are essential to change cultural beliefs and practices in Maasai society.
