Global Partner Spotlight: Nashipai Maasai Community Projects

We are proud to introduce one of our newest Global Partners, Nashipai Maasai Community Projects. Established in 2015, Nashipai acts as a central hub for seven local women’s groups, three youth groups, and a men’s group. Their mission is “to promote education amongst the Mosiro community of the Maasai so as to create a society free from all forms of violence against women and children and to ensure every child is given a chance to thrive.”

In honor of International Women’s Day, we’ll be joined by Nashipai’s Founder, Selina Nkoile. Selina will share her journey to grassroots activism and the lessons she's learned from her own life experiences. She'll also touch on the current partnership between Nashipai and Population Connection, to empower young girls and women in her Maasai community through education and health initiatives.

You can join us for this informative presentation on International Women's Day—Wednesday, March 8th, at 1:00pm ET/10:00am PT.

PopEd Quarterly Theme: Public Health

Public health is a phrase that has taken on new importance in the past few years. And this winter, as we continue to fight COVID, RSV, and influenza, our collective health is on everyone’s minds. From local issues like toxic runoff or air pollution, to global issues like climate change or the emergence of zoonotic diseases, the connections between human health, population, and the environment are many.

This quarter, our Population Education program explores the topic of public health and its many angles and layers. As always, offerings include free classroom lessons and resources that educators can use to connect this timely topic to their state teaching standards.
