Educational institutions
Enkiteng Lepa Primary School
With the priority of ensuring that the girls especially from the Maasai community get education, she with the help of other partners, started her first rescue school in Maji Moto called Enkiteng Lepa School in the year 2009.
The school name “Enkiteng Lepa” is a Maasai name meaning our cow.The school pictorial logo of a cow cycled then crossed is a symbolic meaning of don’t exchange girls with cows, rather, give them education.
Based on her, exchanging a girl for a cow is not worthy as giving them education. A cow won’t last forever as compared to the knowledge that one acquires in education.
After rescuing a girl, she normally takes her to Enkiteng Lepa School then look for a partner/ well-wisher willing to help the girl to pursue her educational dreams by catering for her school fees and other school expenses.
So far, the school has grown to accommodate both girls and boys. In the process of rescuing girl child, she realized that they was high rate of school dropout by the boy child so as to join warrior ship and take care of their parents livestock and thus, began rescuing the boy child too.
Currently, 30% of the pupils at Enkiteng Lepa School are under sponsorship of our very good partners, 60% under Ms. Hellen Nkuraiya and 10% being from stable families.
Ms. Hellen is still in search of other partners and individuals willing to assist her in helping the girls as well as boys get their right to education.
