Kakenya Center for Excellence

Kakenya Center for Excellence seeks to empower and motivate young girls through education to become agents of change and to break the cycle of destructive cultural practices such as female genital mutilation and early forced marriage.

Why we love them

For a rural Maasai girls-only school, academic performance is great and staff and teachers are highly motivated through an amazing community reward system.
