In the Maasai community, childhood is a fragile privilege often stolen by harmful cultural practices. Born into a patriarchal society, young girls face a future where their potential is suppressed by poverty, a lack of education and deeply ingrained social norms. They witness sisters endure painful rites like female genital mutilation / cutting (FGM/C) and are threatened with other forms of gender-based violence. Their cries for help often go unheard as they are isolated by systemic inequalities and a lack of support. This is the heartbreaking reality we are committed to changing.

At Nice Place Foundation, we provide the solution. We offer a safe haven, a sanctuary where girls can find refuge and reclaim their stolen childhoods. Our work goes beyond rescue; we empower them with education and mentorship, transforming them into leaders and advocates for change. By engaging communities and working with elders, men and boys, we challenge harmful norms from within, creating a ripple effect of dignity and hope. We are building a world where every girl’s future is defined not by tradition, but by her own potential.
