HerJourney To School documentary: Why we do, What we do.

In Tanzania, the Maasai community is one of the tribes with traditions and customs that oppress girls and women. Despite the many environmental challenges, they face such as walking long distances to school, traveling far to fetch water and firewood for household needs these cultural practices still do not consider her an important person in the community. Practices such as child marriage, denial of the right to attend school and access to education, the right to choose a partner, and the right to make decisions, cut short the dreams of many girls in this Maasai community. Many are forced into marriage at a very young age, which leads to many girls abandoning their educational and economic aspirations. ‘Her Journey to School,’ a non-governmental organization working in collaboration with other partners, helps these girls overcome the challenges that are tied to cultural norms and traditions in Arusha Region.
