“My father had already received the three cows for me.\u201d<\/b><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
“My father was very happy because the old man brought the cows.\u201d<\/b><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
\u201cI was traded to a man about forty when I was a little girl.\u201d<\/b><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
\u201cI was traded to an old man about sixty years when I was a young girl.\u201d<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The girls\u2019 stories open with these words.\u00a0 They sit in wooden chairs, in soft lavender school uniforms and with shaved heads or tidy corn rows.\u00a0 They speak quietly but with confidence, unflinching as they talk about frightening solo flights across the wilderness, angry fathers chasing and mothers rejecting. Of starting over at the ripe old ages of six or nine or twelve. The girls run to escape female genital mutilation and childhood marriages, but they drive back so much more:\u00a0 poverty, dawn-to-dusk labor and the lack of basic human rights that is the lot of a traditional Masai woman.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now the girls cannot go home.\u00a0 Their bride price had to be returned angering their fathers.\u00a0 So they live at school. Enkiteng Lepa School is in the middle of pastoral Masai Land, much of its population living in traditional mud huts.\u00a0 The occasional settlement with a tiny store, home-grown bar or government school can be seen, but it\u2019s mostly a land of low acacia, gently sloped hills, flowing red shukas, cows and goats and their accompanying jingling bells.\u00a0 Then, all of a sudden there is a tall, manicured hedge and a pink metal gate. Within the school grounds is a long, modern building housing several classrooms for the 190 students, largely girls, but 48 of them boys, from pre-school to eighth grade.\u00a0 Inside one classroom posters line the walls listing irregular verbs, global warming facts.\u00a0 Children yell teacher Ben Gibson\u2019s name, arms either straining toward him or shaking enough to throw out an elbow, begging to be called on.\u00a0 Mr. Gibson is patient and speaks gently.\u00a0 The children\u2019s enthusiasm, happiness and interest in their subject (Swahili) can only be called rare.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Life As a Traditional Masai Girl<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Some people equate offering western style education to Africans with forcing religion and believe we should leave well enough alone.\u00a0 But FGM and childhood marriage deny a woman her basic human rights:\u00a0 the right to control her body, the right to choose whom and when to marry, the right to express an opinion, the right to pursue a calling.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a>A Masaii girl bears children as a young teen and her days are a round of constant work.\u00a0 She tends to her own family and her in-laws. She rises early to milk cows and goats, prepares all meals, washes both families\u2019 clothes, walks miles to fetch water and firewood and cleans both houses.\u00a0 She looks after the injured or very young creatures at home, cutting grass and giving water. She builds her house and mixes water and cow dung to seal the holes in both houses. The man gives orders.\u00a0 He directs the children to take the cows for grazing, and the women in their work.\u00a0 If a Masai woman does not obey her husband, she can expect to be beaten.\u00a0 Masai women are trapped by motherhood before they\u2019re old enough to think beyond their parents\u2019 wishes.\u00a0 A Masai woman commonly dies in what is considered middle age in the west.<\/p>\n
Childhood Marriage<\/b>
\n
\n<\/b>Girls are promised in marriage as early as the womb in a process called \u201cbooking\u201d.\u00a0 Families of girls are eager to reserve a husband for their daughters.\u00a0 Girls are seen as a way to increase wealth through bride price.\u00a0 Little girls are sometimes married to older men as the fourth or fifth wife.\u00a0 When a young girl is married to an old man, she is more likely to become a widow with children to care for while still in her teens, and she is not allowed to remarry.\u00a0 She retains her late husband\u2019s cows, but has no way to graze them if there is a drought and so must sell them. Once they are gone she has nothing.<\/div>\n
What is FGM?<\/b>
\n
\n<\/b>
\nFemale genital mutilation is the practice where a woman\u2019s genitals are removed in order to prevent promiscuity by lessening a woman\u2019s interest in sex, or the vagina is sewn closed rendering her incapable of intercourse.\u00a0 FGM can lead to infections including HIV, bleeding to death, painful sex, disinterest in sex, and dangerous childbirth.\u00a0 FGM puts women at risk of ostracism because cutting often results in incontinence causing a woman to reek of urine.\u00a0 FGM is often performed when girls are five years old.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In Kenya, Masai girls are valued for the cows their bride price brings. Enkiteng Lepa School provides girls with the eternal cow.<\/b><\/div>\n

Hellen Nkuraiya helps Masaii girls escape Female<\/div>\n
Genital Mutilation and childhood marriages.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

At Enkiteng Lepa School girls are taught to soar over this future. At the heart of this nascent women\u2019s movement is Hellen Nkuraiya.\u00a0 The school\u2019s founder and girls\u2019 savior, she rescued many of the girls herself.\u00a0 She protects the aspects of Masai culture beautiful for all while excoriating its brutal practices and providing the girls their right to an education so they can glide easily within the Masai world and modern Kenya. Mondays and Fridays are school uniform days.\u00a0 The rest of the week the girls, and Hellen, wear traditional Masaii clothing.\u00a0 They sing and dance pieces from both worlds, learn proper Maa, Kiswahili and English.\u00a0 They practice sustainable agriculture and learn about global warming. There are lessons in avoiding stress and HIV.\u00a0 And, by the way, Enkiteng Lepa is doing a spectacular job.\u00a0 So spectacular, this school run on donations for rescued girls is now taking in paying students. Paying boy Masai<\/i> students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So, instead of a life of servitude where expressing an opinion is often met with a blow, these girls will go on to high school and possibly university.\u00a0 They will have fewer children and their children will be healthier.\u00a0 They will earn money and studies show most of that money will go back into their villages and families.\u00a0 They will avoid the violence toward women accepted in Masai culture.\u00a0 The girls will direct their futures, not a father or a husband.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Enthusiasm runs high in classrooms.<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/b><\/div>\n

Oasis in the Middle of Hot Water<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a>It\u2019s fitting Hellen chose to build her school in Maji Moto.\u00a0 Maji Moto means hot water and is named for the hot spring in the area.\u00a0 Hot water is exactly where Hellen has chosen to put herself since she graduated from teaching college.\u00a0 Herself a victim of cutting, she became the fifth wife of an older man when she was a young girl.\u00a0 She\u2019s not sure her age.\u00a0 \u201cMy mother would say, \u2018You were born in the year of heavy rain,\u201d said Helen, scrunching her shoulders and tipping palms skyward in the universal gesture of \u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d\u00a0 The heavy rains may have occurred fifty years ago or thirty-five. \u00a0A nun spirited her away from her husband and her father was briefly arrested.\u00a0 The nun saw to it that Hellen was educated and independent.\u00a0 Hellen became a teacher and was fired from school after school as she spoke to girls about rejecting FGM and early marriage.\u00a0 \u201cI was beaten with sticks by parents.\u00a0 They would say, \u2018Why don\u2019t you have your own children so you can control them?\u2019\u201d But, she did not stop.\u00a0 She believes the way out of poverty and subjugation is through education.\u00a0 She says if Masai count wealth in cows, a girl\u2019s education is worth an infinite number of cows.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Twice per term parents are invited to visit at Enkiteng Lepa School.\u00a0 They come bearing milk in calabashes, food cooked at home and they stay until mid-afternoon.\u00a0 Then they go home, leaving the girls.\u00a0 Is a little girl better off with other students and teachers, but no mother or father, siblings or extended family? Perhaps not.\u00a0 But, this is the start of a movement.\u00a0 While the girls are without family during childhood, they will emerge into adulthoods of self-determination.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI want to be an aviator.\u201d<\/b><\/div>\n
\u201cI want to be an optometrist.\u201d<\/b><\/div>\n
\u201cI want to be a lawyer.\u201d<\/b><\/div>\n
\n
\u201cI want to be like Hellen.\u201d<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These are the words the little girls used to tie up their stories.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
