Saving Masai girls from genital mutilation

Donation protected
The Masai community is known worldwide for its gender segretative culture,leaving women with no rights to education,property ownership,choice of marriage partner,age of marriage,(as early as 8 years old),number of children in a marriage and tragically,undergoing female genital mutilation.In an effort to rescue these little Masai girls,Mary Sinantei Joseph,is building a school in the Tanzanian village of MTO wa mbu that will rescue vulnerable girls. Mary is a qualified teacher ,having completed her university studies in Kenya .                                                 Marys aim for the school is to give the girls a quality education,and to also focus on creating awareness of the girls legal rights and the necessity to stamp out female genital mutilation.She has been raising funds by herself for years by means of facebook contacts and visitors to her village.                                                                     As Africa doesnt have access to go fund me i have opened a campaign on her behalf and with her consent.                                 Her facebook page is Mary Sinantei ,where you can get an idea of the inspiring work she does in the name of helping her people and i would urge you to look at it. She has probably the kindest heart i have come across and is tireless in her community work.One of her friends,a volunteer worker from USA who has visited her recently said"shes not a saint,but shes the closest thing to it".                                        If you are able to help Mary,100% of donations go directly to the establishment of the school ,the breakdown of costs is basically $30,000 for the land and everything else is for building materials and school furniture .                                                                          sincerely,                                                      Jonathan Dear/on behalf of Mary Sinantei Joseph
