First Two Girls from Tasaru to Receive GRR funding are Now Employed as Primary School Teachers


Janet Pere and Mary Makije, who were the first girls from Tasaru to receive funding from GLOBAL RELIEF RESOURCES to attend Teachers College in Kenya, are now working as primary school teachers in their home areas.

They both completed college in late July and by early September both of them had jobs! The demand for teachers in Kenya is very high but there were still many challenges to actually finding placement in a school. Now that they are both employed, we will be able to see the benefits of rescued Maasai girls working rather than being married off as children.
