Located in Kajiado, Kenya, Nenkashe Education Centre (NEC) is a community-based organization established in 2010 that serves as a vital rescue and mentorship hub for Maasai girls. The centre focuses on protecting vulnerable children from harmful traditional practices, such as female genital mutilation (FGM) and forced early marriages, which often lead to the premature end of their formal education. Rather than operating as a standard public primary school, NEC provides a holistic support system that includes educational sponsorship for school fees and materials, safe housing, legal assistance, and comprehensive mentorship programs designed to empower girls to become self-sustaining adults. Through partnerships with local leaders and the Ministry of Gender and Children, the centre also conducts community outreach to advocate for child rights and improved sanitation in local villages.
