Samburu Girls Foundation, (SGF) is a Kenyan non-profit whose primary work is to rescue girls from child-marriage, beading and FGM. We then sponsor those girls to school. In our 2 years of operation, we have been able to rescue over 200 girls and we are sponsoring 135 girls to schools around the country.
Founded by Josephine Kulea and Gladys Lesrima in 2012, the organisation saves lives by advocating against Harmful Cultural Practices and builds futures for the girls by taking them to school.
Mission: To create an enabling environment for culturally discriminated and under-privileged girls to realize their full potential through education empowerment.
