International Women’s Day in Kenya – 1 Day Cultural Experience
International Women’s Day is a global celebration of the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. Each year on March 8th, One Horizon celebrates this special day by holding parties for the wonderful Kenyan women at the projects we support and you are invited. This is a rare opportunity to visit remarkable groups of women who are instrumental in building new, bright and sustainable futures for themselves, their families and their communities.
There are two options to choose from; a visit to a Maasai village where the women will show you their age-old customs and their responsibilities for the familyin the very patriarchal Maasai society, or a Kikuyu community where you’ll see how a farming enterprise assists grandmothers to support the many generations they care for. These experiences will give you deep insight into the customs and structures of rural Kenyan family life, and the highlight is the genuine interaction with these amazing women as we applaud their achievements at our events on International Women’s Day.
