School Sponsorships with BEADS for Education
Meet Entito: Ten year old Entito is a Maasai girl living in Kenya. Under her current circumstances, Entito will probably be forced into an arranged marriage at age 13 to a 30 plus year old man, be his second or third wife and bear 7 or more children. But if Entito finishes high school she will be prepared to select a career and, when she marries, she will most likely be the sole wife of a man she chooses and bear far fewer children. She will have an increased sense of dignity and self esteem.
