Read more about Ntaiya's amazing accomplishments on her website: http://www.kakenyasdream.org/

Excerpts from story in National Geographic:

School was [Ntaiya's] lone bright spot. She made excellent grades, admired her teachers, and hoped to some day become one herself. “I lived in a hut made of grass and mud that we shared with goats and sheep. But I had dreams. I kept pictures of beautiful green places with nice homes and somehow knew there was a different life out there." On the progress of her students: “After just a few months here, they become completely different people,” Ntaiya observes. “In a girls-only environment they lead, make decisions, speak up, and gain confidence. They’re smart and thriving. They just needed a chance.” Read more here!]]> http://plen.org/2010/09/national-geographic/feed/ 0
