KAKENYA'S DREAM
In Kenya, school life is not easy for some local Maasai people. In some schools, classes have 70 students in one classroom. Schools don’t always have books. There sometimes aren’t enough teachers, or there isn’t enough money.
This is especially true for Maasai girls. Not many Maasai girls in Kenya finish elementary school. Many Maasai girls leave school early to get married. Kakenya Ntaiya has a dream. She wants to help Maasai schoolgirls. She has an elementary school for girls.
Today, 170 girls go to her school, and they love it. They study English and Swahili (an African language). They also study math, science, geography, history, art, and PE. Ntaiya wants the students to have a better life.
