A young Maasai girl, engaged at age five and subjected to female genital mutilation, refused to let tradition dictate her future. By negotiating with village elders and demanding an education, she broke barriers and founded a girls’ school in rural Kenya. Today, 125 girls are protected from early marriage and mutilation, creating new futures for themselves. This story shows how one determined act can ripple out to change an entire community.
