We are students at La Sapienza in Rome and since 2017 we spend our holidays in Kenya as volunteering teachers in a secundary school. The school tries to give girls the possibility to continue studying and be able to choose not to marry, not to undergo genital mutilation and not to start working when they are 14. Together with students and friends we built up an association to help The Irene School Maralal and the girls, who have only one dream.....STUDY!
Ogni anno migliaia di ragazze finendo le scuole elementari, nella Contea Samburu nel nord del Kenya, hanno solo una possibilità: sottoporsi alla mutilazione genitale ed essere date in sposa come seconde o terze mogli a uomini molto più anziani. LIrene School Maralal vuole dare alle più motivate e meritevoli la possibilità di sfuggire a questo destino ed inseguire i loro sogni. Poter continuare a studiare per cambiare in meglio la loro comunità. Bastano 50 teamers per sostenere una ragazza!

Updates!!!! We have successfully supported almost 40 students to complete secundary school in Maralal. Many of our first students have now completed university degrees, and some of them are coming back as teachers, coaches, and IT-experts to assist us in continuing educating.
We also finally been able to start Nielimishe Foundation, a kenyan-based charity, which will facilitate our work on the ground. The first big project is to build our own school complex in Samburu County. We want to deliver the highest quality education for the lowest cost possible to as many people as possible. Thank you for your help and continuous support!!

Volevo ringraziarvi tutti. Abbiamo invitato molte persone, ma solo voi avete deciso di sostenerci con questa piccola offerta mensile. Grazie da parte mia e delle 20 ragazze che con questi 18€ al mese potranno avere tre pasti assicurati. Speriamo di aumentare per contribuire ancora di più!
