Students at howFar's Lake Jipe Primary - 2010 |
Only approximately 15% of Maasai children attend primary school and very few attend secondary school.
Our goal is to establish Jipe Secondary School on the howFar compound so that our students can continue their education.
howFar will you go to help these Maasai children escape the cycle of poverty through education?
