Episode 16 - Mission to Kajiado: An Audio Story - Girls escaping child marriage and FGM find a home

This audio story is about the Kajiado Adventist School and Rescue Center in Kenya. It’s a haven for Maasai girls, sometimes as young as six years old, who are escaping child marriage and a dangerous ritual called female genital mutilation (FGM). Maranatha dedicated the campus in July 2024 after six years of completely transforming the property, but in this story you'll hear what life was like at Kajiado closer to the beginning of Maranatha’s involvement. You'll also take in the depth of the connections formed between Maranatha volunteers and Kajiado students-a microcosm of the hundreds of volunteers that would end up serving on this project over the years.
Note: This story was originally produced for a radio program, so it's really meant to be listened to. You'll see raw footage that is attached to some of the audio, and when there’s no video footage, we have a graphic on the screen. So for this one, maybe ignore the visuals and just take in the immersive sounds of the mission field.
