Support a Girl. Shape a Leader.
Help educate talented Maasai girls at Mara Girls Leadership School and give them the opportunity to learn, thrive, and lead.
At Mara Girls Leadership School, education is more than access to a classroom - it is a pathway to confidence, leadership and long-term opportunity.
About the School
Educating girls. Empowering future leaders.
Mara Girls Leadership School (MGLS) is a model school established by Basecamp Foundation Kenya with the goal of securing education for talented Maasai girls, supporting their transition to senior school and ultimately opening the path to university education.
The school was founded with a powerful vision: to nurture the next generation of Maasai women leaders and ensure that girls are represented in key decision-making spaces in society. Since its establishment in 2017, MGLS has remained committed to academic excellence, leadership development and holistic growth.
Today, the school continues to provide a safe, structured and inspiring environment where girls can build strong academic foundations while growing in confidence and purpose.
One girl in school.
A lifetime of impact.
Growing with purpose.
Mara Girls Leadership School began in 2017, initially enrolling 16 girls per class under Kenya's former 8-4-4 curriculum. In 2023, the school successfully transitioned to the Competency-Based Education system and increased enrolment to 24 students per class, bringing the current school population to 72 girls aged 10 to 14.
This growth reflects both the need for the school and its continued commitment to delivering quality education and leadership training for young girls.
The impact so far
Since 2017, 176 girls have passed through Mara Girls Leadership School. These numbers represent more than progress in school. They represent hope, resilience and the growing presence of educated young women who are prepared to lead.
What it costs to support one girl
It costs $2,500 per year to educate one student at Mara Girls Leadership School.

- Tuition$1,000
- Uniforms$60
- Boarding fees$840
- Health care$200
- Books and stationery$200
- Sports and extracurricular activities$200
Total: $2,500 per girl, per year.
Every contribution goes toward creating a stable and supportive learning journey for a girl with the talent and potential to go far.
Your support changes more than one life
When you support a girl, you do more than cover education costs. You give her the chance to grow in confidence, discover her voice and pursue her dreams with dignity and hope.
You also help create a ripple effect that extends beyond the classroom - into families, communities and future generations.
This is how lasting change begins: one girl, one opportunity, one future at a time.
