On Friday, July 30, Mary Makije and Janet Pere will complete their two years of study at Mosoriot Teachers College and Kericho Teachers College. As certificate holders in primary education, they now qualify for government employment in public primary schools in Kenya.
This is a remarkable achievement! Mary and Janet are the first two girls from Tasaru to complete a post secondary program with the financial support of GLOBAL RELIEF RESOURCES.
Congratulations to Mary & Janet!
AND THANK YOU to Snowmass Chapel in Snowmass, Colorado, Women of Hitchcock Presbyterian Church in Scarsdale, New York and Suzanne Munn of Steamboat Springs, Colorado for their sponsorship donations to GLOBAL RELIEF RESOURCES that made it possible for these two young women from Tasaru to have economic livelihoods. Employed as teachers in Kenya, these two remarkable young women will be role models for other Maasai girls at risk of FGM and forced childhood marriage. And they will help bring about an end to the economic need for these practices.
