WHY NAMNYAKI MAASAI GIRLS SECONDARY SCHOOL?
The Maasai and other Pastoralists communities in Tanzania like Barbaiqw, Sukuma and other livestock keepers communities especially in Southern Part of Tanzania still living in their former nomadic traditional ways of life and depend only on livestock keeping as only way of economy in this fast changing world. Most of Pastoralists were evicted and removed from their original settlements to allow farming growing of crops, expansion of National Parks and contractions of modern towns due to increase of population and the Pastoralists found no enough places for keeping their cattle as their main source of income so many Maasai men ran away from their families because of poverty they can’t take care of their families.
Among other reasons like cultural ways of life the Maasai and other pastoralist’s people girls are forced into early marriage and never have an opportunity to pursue education beyond primary school.
Many of the girls at the school come from families that are unable to pay the cost of tuition, room, and board. In some cases, the girls have run away from forced (illegal) marriages to older men, so they have no financial support. Because the school is tuition dependent, it often struggles to pay its teachers, buy books and other materials, and plan for long term upkeep of the facilities.
The school is thriving in terms of providing a safe, welcoming, and educationally enriching environment for students.
Other factors affecting pastoralist’s girls are failure to get good qualifications for further studies, Poor studying environments at home and village primary schools and high schools grades from other schools.
