Friend,
I’m excited to tell you more about Kakenya’s Dream, one of our Global Partners dedicated to removing barriers to girls’ education. Founded in 2008 by Dr. Kakenya Ntaiya, Kakenya’s Dream began as a single school serving 30 vulnerable Maasai girls.
Poverty often prevents Maasai families from educating all their children. Because daughters can fetch a “bride price,” many Maasai families put their limited resources towards educating only their sons. Girls oftentimes live within the confines of child marriage, early childbearing, and housekeeping.
Today, thanks to supporters like YOU, Kakenya’s Dream is a robust nonprofit organization supporting girls in rural Kenya. They provide quality education, saving girls from child marriage and unlocking a new future of possibilities for them, their families, and their communities!
In 2024 alone, Kakenya’s Dream welcomed 111 new students to the school. Their curriculum is supplemented with both leadership training and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health education. All of the current students will graduate from primary school to high school. This is an incredible achievement—made possible in part thanks to support from Population Connection’s Global Partners Program, funded by supporters like you!
You can support this transformative organization—and all of our Global Partners—with a gift of $20.00 today. Your gift will be DOUBLED by our generous matching gift sponsor, up to $250,000 through December 31st!
You can help provide a transformative level of funding to our partners, building on our work to stabilize global population.
Thank you for your support during this season of giving. We appreciate your ongoing generosity!
Warm regards,
