We have finalized our MISSION and GOALS, they are:
MISSION: Providing educational opportunities to empower Maasai girls and women
Goals:
1) provide funding for cost-share educational opportunitites for girls and women through:
*secondary school
*college and vocational opportunities in health care, leadership, agriculture,
teaching community development, social work, finance and environment
*life and entrepreneurial skills at the village level
2) educate Americans about the life of Maasailand women and organize fund
raising for support of Maasailand women's education
We are pleased to be adding the education at the village level with the coursework that will be taught by Project Baobab. The photo is from December, 2007 when the MWEEP Kenya women and Loanna Day met with the Project Baobab in country director, Jane Kunyiha.
Our immediate funding needs are for this coursework and the $100.00 grants that will go to the top 1/3 of the women when they present their business plans upon graduation.
