LEND A HELPING HAND ON SAFARI

 

No act of kindness no mater how small is ever wasted

 

African Spice Safaris and its non-profit division, works closely with The Bride Rescue Program Kajiado, Kenya that runs a special program to rescue young girls from harmful cultural practices such as female genital mutilation and early marriage.  

 

Though a public school, AIC Kajiado Girls School runs a special program, The Bride Rescue Program that was started back in 1986 to rescue young girls from early forced marriages.

 

Currently, the program has a total 120 girls Out of this number, 80 girls have to remain in the school during school breaks as they cannot go back to their homes for fear of being married off. During these breaks, the girls are taught things such as cookery, embroidery and bead-work, which earn them some little income for their personal effects. When the rescued girls are brought to the school, most of them are traumatized and have to undergo serious counseling. Once at the school the girls join the 'speak out club', whereby they compose poems, songs and plays that are geared towards creating awareness on early marriage and girl child education amongst the girls and to rest of the community. 

 

This is a chance to join hands and make a difference. While safaris may be our calling, these dear children are our joyful passion. How they love-and need-the friendship and support of visitors. Our mission is to inspire and enable Spice travelers to take informed and compassionate action. There is heroic work being done! We enthusiastically urge all travelers to spend a few Days visiting this school or other orphanages. Give your time, your talent, your resources and your love. Become a bridge of information and exchange between cultures. What would you do? Sing, dance, play. Talk about your profession to teenagers. Bounce babies on your knee. Perhaps help put up a school building. Or simply provide a window to the larger world. We guarantee that lives will be forever touched.
