INVESTING IN THE FUTURE OF

Maasai Girls

slide-2-3

All girls have the right to

Forge Their Own Destiny

Forced Marriage

Marriages are often arranged between young girls and much older men. They have no voice.

Female Genital Mutilation

A dangerous prerequisite for marriage is the ritual known as Female Genital Mutilation or FGM.

Education Equals Freedom

Only through education will women and girls have economic opportunity outside of marriage.

About us

The primary purpose of the Tareto Entito Foundation is to help young women and girls in Ilkangere Village obtain an education. An indigenous ethnic group of nomadic people settled throughout Kenya and northern Tanzania, the Maasai are a deeply patriarchal people with traditional views and practices that not only limit the freedom of girls but endanger their safety. It is our passionate belief that educating them will not only empower but also provide protection.
