Girlboss Program

Training Program

We opened a training centre which adjoins CRGC to train young local girls how to use sewing machines. They also completed a course in horticulture and vegetable planting. The program is called GirlBoss!

Adjoined to the training centre is Kocha, the kindergarten, which provides education to young local children while their mothers complete their training.

One of our regular adult volunteers, Mary Sherlock, runs and promotes the Girl Boss program on the Irish side and is regularly seen at craft markets and fairs in Ireland selling their wares - "Hi all - just want to introduce Girlboss Cara to you all. A new sewing centre set up by Cara Girls Rescue Centre to teach Masai girls how to sew, giving them a valuable resource to enable them to provide for themselves and their families. The girls have been working really hard making aprons and foldaway shopping bags, all made from genuine Maasai Shukas and African Kitenge fabric - they are fantastic".On the Kenyan side the program is promoting reusable diapers for Kenyan children at affordable prices, dresses, shoulder bags just to mention a few!
