Mission Statement

THE AMAZING MAASAI GIRLS PROJECT WAS FOUNDED IN 2011 WITH THE GOAL OF PROVIDING FULL TUITION AND BOARDING SCHOLARSHIPS TO HIGH-SCHOOL GIRLS FROM THE VARIOUS MAASAI TRIBES IN LAIKIPIA NORTH, KENYA, WHOSE FAMILIES WOULD OTHERWISE NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO FUND THEIR SECONDARY EDUCATION. THE MISSION OF THE AMAZING MAASAI GIRLS PROJECT IS TO HELP ADOLESCENT MAASAI GIRLS AVOID CHILDHOOD MARRIAGE & MOTHERHOOD, EMPOWERING THEM THROUGH EDUCATION TO FIND EMPLOYMENT AND INDEPENDENCE AS ADULTS. THE AMAZING MAASAI PROJECT BELIEVES THAT EDUCATION CAN IMPROVE NOT ONLY THE CURRENT AND FUTURE LIVES OF GIRLS AND THEIR IMMEDIATE FAMILIES, BUT ALSO OF THOSE IN THE WIDER MAASAI COMMUNITY. THE PROJECT IS FUNDED THROUGH RUNNING EVENTS, SUCH AS THE AMAZING MAASAI MARATHON WHICH IS HELD IN KENYA EACH YEAR, THE GLOBAL RUN WHICH IS SELF-SUPPORTED RUNNING ACROSS THE GLOBAL. THE PROJECT IS COMMITTED TO BEING COMMUNITY-BASED AND COMMUNITY-BACKED.
