Marriages are often arranged between young girls and much older men. They have no voice.
A dangerous prerequisite for marriage is the ritual known as Female Genital Mutilation or FGM.
Only through education will women and girls have economic opportunity outside of marriage.
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.
