“I did not want to be married early”

Some of the girls at the Rescue Center. Aren’t they beautiful? “I did not want to be married early because it would shatter all my dreams,” Mary said “I ran away from home and came to the Rescue Center and Pastor Mark’s family, who supported my desire to complete my education and make something of myself.” He helped me work through the issues around FGM and early marriage that our Maasai culture and my family are pushing onto girls like myself, and helped me to find a sponsor so that I can go to school and become a Doctor to my own people some day.
