We loan because:
We believe that by empowering women in the fight for women's rights, poverty reduction, education and health promotion, we are helping to create a fairer and better world for everyone.
About us:
We support Tareto Maa, a community in Kenya set up as a result of the wonderful vision of Gladys Kiranto. Her aim and that of the community is to provide refuge and a place of safety for girls at risk of Female Genital Mutilation and early enforced marriage. We want to raise the profile and awareness of this group to all our friends on Kiva to promote their wonderful work.

In 2011 our Kiva team had great success having bought over 5,000 loans on Kiva. We played a major part in the building of the first dormitory of the refuge, and the first classroom of the school over in Kenya. We helped furnish the local church, and work has begun on the building of a well which will provide clean water. Thanks to the efforts of our Kiva team members, 2011 ended with Tareto Maa having won a permanent place on Global Giving.org:
www.globalgiving.org/projects/protect-70-girls-from-genital-mutilation-in-kenya/
along with further funding which will see a second dormitory built to house our children.

We are inviting you to join our wonderful team on Kiva, in order for you to be a part of Tareto Maa's success story on Kiva and in Kenya.

Everyone is welcome to join us. We give regular updates on our progress.

We wish everyone a happy and prosperous New Year.
