Summary: The Samburu Girls Foundation Project will sponsor one rescued girl for a year with the cost of food, medical care, tuition and school supplies.


The Samburu Girls Foundation, (SGF) is a Kenyan non-profit whose primary work is to rescue girls from child-marriage, beading, and FGM. Over 1183 girls have been rescued and 326 are currently being sponsored in schools around the country.

After rescuing the girls, they give them a safe place to live and counseling, then focus on education, and also community outreach to educate the community of these harmful cultural practices.

$50 provides personal items for a semester
