Helping end early marriage and FGM in Maasai girls through education

May 29, 2017

Maasai girls can be married as young as ten, even though a Kenyan law prohibits marriage before eighteen. Many chiefs refuse to educate the women and girls on their rights. Coins for Change is working to educate women and girls, helping them become educated, and learn skills to be in control of their own future. They have set up a safe house allowing women and girls to escape unhealthy living situations. They want to help alleviate poverty, and sponsor children's education.
