The girls in our scholarship program are members of the Maasai Tribe in Kenya. They were born into impoverished circumstances and face significant challenges in accessing education due to deeply ingrained patriarchal cultural norms favoring boys' schooling. This perpetuates a distressing cycle of educational disadvantage among girls, impeding their personal development and sense of empowerment.
GSSA extends a compassionate hand through school scholarships, covering tuition, books, uniforms, and supplies, to help these girls break free from these barriers and pursue their dreams. By supporting their education, we not only uplift them individually but also courageously challenge the cultural constraints that limit their access to learning opportunities.
The amazing part is that just $150 covers the tuition, books, uniform and other expenses for one girl to attend school for one year!
All of the girls listed are members of the Maasai Tribe and attend Super Eagles Academy, a basic school with little resources in the impoverished Village of Oloirien in Kajiado County, Kenya.
