Our Current Amazing Girls
The Amazing Maasai Girls Project currently supports 65 high school students across three schools in a very rural area of Laikipia, northwest Kenya.
In August 2024, we interviewed five of our Form Four students who are proud Amazing Girls and who participated in our annual fundraiser, the Amazing Maasai Marathon.
Watch the interviews below…
Annette
“When I run, I feel energetic and I am active in class since my mind is fresh and I remember more.”
Martha
“When I lost my mum, I felt like I was not going to proceed with my education.”
Chemutai
”I’m an Amazing Girl because I am determined for my future.”
Putunoi
“I applied for the Amazing scholarship because my father could not afford my school fees. I decided to apply so that they can help me pursue my education.”
Jecinta
“I feel very well and very good to attend this school at St. Francis because it is beautiful.”
The gallery below displays photos of students currently attending St. Francis Girls’ Boarding School. Names have been withheld to maintain privacy.
Each an every child pictured has displayed impressive ambition and drive in order to be selected to receive a four-year boarding school scholarship.
Each and every child below has committed to maintaining good grades and a great attitude.
This, despite the extreme disadvantages and obstacles she faces at home.
This, despite the fact many have lost a parent or parents and have considerable responsibilities when school is out.
These girls are bright and ambitious. They deserve to lead lives in which they have control over their futures. We see their older sisters doing this just. They are Amazing.
