OUR MISSION is to inspire the next generation to be learners, critical thinkers, and ultimately ethical leaders and changemakers. We collaborate at the grassroots level with teachers, students, conservationists, and community members in rural areas of Morocco and Kenya to develop high-quality libraries and programs in literacy and environmental education that empower young people with knowledge.
Our November newsletter is about the Mara Girls Leadership School: the 1st graduating class, a new Conservation Club, and an interview with the graduate Jackline about her dreams for the future. Also, a glimpse of a nearby 2020 project. Take a look!
"We are here at Mara Girls, to bring a lot of changes to the Maa community... to change them to realize that education is the best thing that is the key to the life of a young girl."
