Women Peacemakers: Are You Ready To Take on an Act of Peacemaking?

Our very own Sr. Mary Vertucci, MM has been doing her share in creating safe spaces and accompanying young pastoralist and hunter-gatherer women towards peaceful co-existence through education at our centre.
If you want to know more about Sr. Mary’s views and actions on peacemaking, avail the book in Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

“I wanted to change the narrative.” – Grace
Meet Grace Scorey: One of our former students who is “creating a better future for women and girls in her community. This set her on a trailblazing path of education and activism.”
This is what happens when you educate a girl–she becomes a Community Champion, a Change maker and a Role Model to the community especially to young pastoralist and hunter-gatherer girls.

Our dear Sr. Mary is featured in the October issue of the CatholicSpirit . This is the official newspaper of the Diocese of Metuchen in New Jersey.
Below is an excerpt from the article:
“Sister Mary said, At Emusoi, we give the students the background to enter the world and help their country.” The center provides a home for 270 Maasai girls who live at Emusoi and at secondary schools around Arusha. There are very few college-educated women among the Maasai, so the need is great for education at all levels.”
The article was submitted by Chris Retz (a parishioner of St. Matthias Parish).

Our centre is so proud to share the results of the hard work of our Form 6 students. It has been a long safari for them to reach this stage in their lives but they persevered!
This wonderful news would not be possible if not for your continued support to our centre. Your generosity allowed these young women to bring positive changes in their lives and in their communities. ASANTE SANA!!!!!

We are so #proud to share the results of the #hardwork #resilience #determination and #grit of our Form Four students last year.

Our educational sponsorship is more than just a #steppingstone for our young women to finish their secondary education. Being part of Emusoi is also a time for them to discover their potentials and gain the confidence to stand on their own feet. When our young women pursue their university education, we assist them in applying for government student loans. We believe that this is the perfect time for them to take the initiative and be accountable for their future.
