e-solidarity  

is a humanitarian concept and also a charity association, helping in education of Maasai children in East Africa.

We are living in what is called the “era of information”. E-solidarity tries to give a new dimension to the word “information”, a dimension more social and more human than technical.

e-solidarity,

is the voice of the association M.A.A. (Maasai Aid Association). Here are the last news from the ground :

- it tries to connect worldwide, the generosity and abundance of some ones with the distress and the absence of the minimum vital for living of some others, such as needy children.

- it brings information at the level of rural Maasai women aiming to break the wall of isolation and ignorance in which some communities still live in and which is the source of violation of Children and Women Rights (speaking about FGM – Female Genital Mutilations, early forced marriages, lack of primary education for child girls and so on).


All is well that ends well !

Sponsoring the education of a girl you not only offer her a bright future as a litterate and empowered woman, at the same time you prevent her from early forced marriage and also from mutilation (FGM).

"- I could not imagine that protecting a girl child can make you feeling so happy and so proud !" (testimony of a MAA French godmother who sponsors Ntoontin, the Samburu little girl of 9 year old who was threatened with marriage and cutting on January 2011)

Now, she is going to school.

- it helps concretely African children in getting education (through grants for school fees) so that primary education becomes a reality for every child and especially for girls who are permanently the ignored members of family inside traditional societies.
