We found MGEF on the web, while looking for help in supporting a girl we knew in Kenya. Barbara Shaw and the MGEF is without a doubt one of the most effective organizations for the empowerment of women and girls I have ever encountered. The positive social changes that have come about and will continue as these young women are educated and return to their communities cannot be overestimated. The MGEF website tells the story well, but there is so much more to it.
