Every year at least 1/3 of our graduating class is women.  This year there are fourteen.  The question is often asked, “Why bother with women in a culture where they have no value?’  Education empowers women to make changes in their lives.  These women can now get even government jobs to support
themselves.  They do not have to give in to tribal traditions that make them a tenth wife of an old man.  They go back into their villages and teach other women and the children.  They are making changes to bring the Maasai into the modern world.
