Many thanks for your donation to Kitsap Great Give, 2023. which went well beyond our expectations.

Every $300 that was donated to MWEEP through the Kitsap Great Give this April sends one girl to secondary school for a full year. In addition MWEEP has been able to send ten more women to post secondary school for this term. We are truly thankful for your faithful generosity and support which once again offers these girls and young Maasai women hope and changed lives through education. We all send our heartfelt thanks.

The Kitsap Great Give, online giving for non profits, begins this Friday, April 1 through Tuesday, April 19th. We are hoping you can find it in your giving again this year to help with educating Maasai girls and women in Kenya. Our small nonprofit relies heavily each year on this fund-raiser to send girls and women in Kenya to school. We will receive a “boost” (usually 8-9 % ) by corporate sponsors at the conclusion of this campaign.

The resilience and determination of the Maasai girls and women to obtain an education, even during the past difficult two years, will always give them the hope to achieve a better life and provide inspiration for others in the Maasai community.
Please consider a gift to MWEEP through the Kitsap Great Give to help continue to give education, hope and inspiration to our Maasai girls and women during these difficult times.

Below are 2 secure ways to contribute to Great Give through April 19,2022:
(1) Donate through the Kitsap Great Give secure website using the link below:
https://kitsapgreatgive.org/profile/s/maasai-womens-education-and-empowerment-program
(2) Write a check made out to Kitsap Community Foundation with a notation at the bottom for MWEEP – Great Give and mail to: Kitsap Community Foundation at: P.O. Box 3670, Silverdale, WA 98383. Please mail early so it will be sure to arrive by April 19th.

Thank you in advance for your donation. This annual Kitsap Great Give fundraiser helps bring in a large portion of our annual donations and we appreciate it.

We are so excited that 21 secondary and 11 post secondary girls and women  completed their degrees in 2020! The secondary degrees represented a wide range of studies including accounting, teaching, criminology and criminal justice, food and beverages, business and law. It was with the help of MWEEP USA and MWEEP Kenya that this was possible. Thank you to all who support MWEEP in their many capacities.

Above graduates in full graduation attire celebrate their accomplishment. The photo on the left shows two mentors standing on either side of their graduate who they encouraged and supported throughout the journey.

The letter below represents the gratitude that one postgraduate woman shared in her letter. Note that she will be an art teacher!!!

 

Congratulations Maasai women!

 

GREAT NEWS! Our MWEEP girls and women returned to school January 4, 2021. MWEEP Kenya met with 70 girls in October where food and supplies were distributed. Many many thanks to our faithful supporters which allowed us to assist these girls with money for food and health products during their time away from school. We are so thankful for your donations.

Our support to the secondary and post secondary girls and women in Kenya continues as they return to their in person education.
