MEET Founder & President Gina Rodgers recently had the opportunity to meet with Mali Ole Kaunga on his visit to the Pacific Northwest.
Mali founded & leads the Non- Governmental Organization (NGO) IMPACT (Indigenous Movement for Peace Advancement & Conflict Transformation). He was in the Seattle area working with the Quinault Indian Nation.
Gina & Mali discussed ways to help MEET improve donations & how IMPACT will provide more services to Maasai girls in Kenya.
He hopes to add an additional person at the IMPACT office who will work directly with MEET on raising funds in Kenya & provide the girls with more direct support.
MEET board members welcome this new idea & look forward to adding to our MEET Kenya team.
Currently, Liz Silakan is the only person working with MEET in the IMPACT office.
As MEET sponsors more girls, more local help is needed.
It is always rewarding when the US & Kenya MEET teams are able to meet in person.
Hopefully this will happen more often in the future.
MEET currently sponsors 13 girls to attend school.
To date, MEET’s support has enabled three girls to complete their secondary education.
The future looks bright & MEET hopes to provide even more girls with school sponsorships.
