About This Project
Many girls in Kenya are forced to marry at an early age and suffer female genital mutilation (circumcision). Beyond Bride Rescue Foundation works to rescue these girls and ensure they receive a warm bed, a full tummy, and an education. They often come from impoverished homes, living in mud and cow dung homes, and are expected to become wives and mothers before they have even had a chance to be a child. Helping them with their education gives them an option.
They begin in primary school where they will learn English and their national language, Swahili, as well as all the subjects needed to change their lives. They learn sports, music, and how to care for themselves. Other girl students guide them as well as gifted teachers who become their family. Often they cannot return to their homes so what happens then? Where do they go? Beyond Bride Rescue Foundation helps to launch these bright and lovely girls into a new future filled with hope and love. Help us change a life.
Asante Sana. Thank You!
