Breaking Barries & Create Opportunities

Educate A Girl- We Started from CERTIFICATE EDUCATION

At Naretu Indomonok Women Organization, we believe that education is a fundamental right, a powerful tool for breaking cycles of poverty, increasing literacy, and empowering women to lead healthier, independent lives

Naretu Indomonok Women Organization, we have successfully supported girls to pursue Education. So far, Naretu Indomonok Women Organization has supported One Girl to pursue a Certificate in Community Development at Monduli Community Development Training Institute (CDTI). She is expected to continue with further education next year-2026.

Educate A Women-Adult Education

Adult education began taking shape in 2023 in Five Villages in Monduli District (Baraka, Losirwa, Esilalei, Mungere & Oltukai). So far, Naretu Indomonok Women Organization has successfully provided adult education for women in the villages of Baraka, Esilalei, and Losirwa. As of now, 70% of the women in these three villages are able to READ & WRITE.

Challenges Faced by Women in Undertaking Adult Education

1. 1. Household Responsibilities and Time Constraints

Most women have demanding responsibilities at home, including childcare, cooking, livestock care, and fetching water. These duties often limit the time and energy they can dedicate to attending adult education classes consistently.



2. 2. Low Literacy Confidence and Fear of Stigma

Some women feel ashamed or embarrassed about their age or lack of education, which can discourage them from joining classes. They may also fear being judged by others in the community or family.



3. 3. Limited Access to Learning Materials

There is often a shortage of basic learning resources such as Books, Pens, Blackboards, or Printed Materials. This makes it difficult for learners to practice and reinforce what they learn at home.



4. 4. Long Distances to Learning Centers

In some cases, women have to travel long distances to reach the learning centers, which can be unsafe or physically demanding, especially for older women or those with health issues. The Villages in Monduli District are scartered so this make difficult for any womens to attend Training classes



5. 5. Language Barriers

While some adult education programs use Kiswahili or English, many women are more comfortable with the Maasai language, which can create a language gap in understanding the content.



6. 6. Cultural Norms and Gender Roles

In some households or communities, women may not receive full support from their husbands or elders to participate in education, as traditional gender roles may not value women’s formal learning.



7. 7. Economic Barriers

Even though adult education is often free, the indirect costs (e.g., transport, food, learning materials, time away from work) can discourage participation—especially for low-income households.



8. 8. Health and Age-related Limitations

Older women may face challenges with eyesight, hearing, or general health, which can make reading, writing, or concentrating for long periods more difficult.



9. 9. Irregular Attendance and Dropout

Due to a combination of the above factors, attendance can be inconsistent, and some learners drop out before completing the program.
