7 women in Kitsap County Washington sitting around a kitchen table are helping make a difference in our world!

Please mark your calendars! Online giving runs March 1-11, 2025, Because of you we can contribute more each year to educate the Maasai girls and women in Kenya.

MWEEP will again be participating in the Kitsap Great Give for 2025. This annual fund-raiser is our greatest donation platform for giving as all donations are partially matched by sponsors in our community. This past academic year, MWEEP in Kenya saw higher numbers of girls and young women attending schools. (104 girls in secondary, and 41 young women in post secondary.) Additionally we have been able to assist in a “goat project”. This project helped families, especially single mothers who do not have the funds to assist with their daughters’ tuition. It was very successful and gave them a tangible means to raise the necessary money.

To donate any time between March 1 – March 11, please click on the link below which will take you directly to our page on the secure Kitsap Great Give 2025 website:

Many many thanks to all who donated to our annual Kitsap Great Give in April. This is one of only three ways we are able to raise money to send Maasai girls and women to school in Kenya. Every year with your donations and the hard work of MWEEP Kenya and MWEEP USA we have been able to send more girls and women to secondary and post secondary school. It is working in their communities.

You will hear very soon more about a visit from one of our board members who traveled to Kenya this past February. She was updated first hand about the girls and women and receiving this gift of education as well as the fabulous women who run MWEEP Kenya. Stay tuned!.

We hope you will support us through this annual campaign. With last year’s increase in support we have been able to send more girls to secondary and women to post secondary school. Please copy the direct link below to donate anytime April 1 – 16,2024.

Look for our upcoming story about Board member Pat O’Rourke’s visit to Kenya this past January where she and her travel group visited three of the many schools the Maasai girls attend and they also spent time with the MWEEP Kenya leaders!.
Stay tuned!.

We are able to do more each and every year due to all our supporters. MWEEP USA and MWEEP Kenya thank you.

We had a fun-filled afternoon of wine, appetizers and donated auction items from the community plus a delightfully funny play in early September at the Jewel Box Theater.  MWEEP friends were able to catch up with one another and new friends  purchased a ticket and ventured out to see what this fun event entailed. They were not disappointed! MWEEP Kenya and MWEEP USA send our heartfelt thank you for taking the time to help educate these girls and women in Kenya.

Formal records from 2007 until 2022 show that  MWEEP has sent 1,116 young girls to secondary school and 367 women on to post-secondary school. Currently in 2023 alone there are 99 young girls in secondary schools and 43 enrolled in post-secondary college/universities/vocational schools. Wow! Because of the support you have empowered these young women have been able to become teachers, accountants, secretaries, business managers, working in community development, tailors, hair dressers, medical workers, bankers, entrepreneurs. This all This all happened because mothers said, “We want different lives for our daughters, but we need help.”  YOU stepped up, – YOU helped.

Again thank you for attending the annual MWEEP Jewel Box Fundraiser.

With many thanks from the MWEEP USA Board,
Barbara Stark, Pat O’Rourke, Barbara Coffey, Peggy Iversen, Sandy Lewis, Betty Brownley, Cheri Paulin

We are so excited to see everyone on September 24th at the Jewel Box Theater. It’s always nice to see all your familiar faces and have fun catching up, (Not to mention the wonderful wine, hors d’oeuvres and a funny play) all for MWEEP.
