    Participation of Girls in Primary Education. A case study among Marsabit Pastoralist Community Kenya.
    (Tangaza University College, 2000-03-31) Desu, Yisrashe
    At themoment of history of Kenya experiences a continental struggle for liberation of the poor by all We know that many individuals, church groups with Episcopal conferences and NGOs are living, somehow Christian faith in a way that makes the liberation of the poor for example in Marsabit and other neighbouring districts a driving force The purpose of this essay is to study the theme of girl education - ,particularly in rural area of Marsabit. I will critically examine this theme and draw some practical conclusions of the role of young girls and women in our society. I would like to share the experience that I have lived. I personally was struck by the high rate of illiteracy and poverty pastoralist women experience .So this is in harmony with my own future ministry as a member of the Comboni missionary congregation. The charism is to serve those who have not heard Christ and the poorest of the poor. The present situation of the poor in Marsabit is illiteracy. This is a major problem facing in rural area and the country at large today. This question should be reflected upon by all seriously. The study is divided in to five chapters. Chapter one analyses the background of the problem and studies the location of the study area. Chapter Two re-examine the Literature part. Chapter Three gives the out line of the methodologies applied for the research and analysis for the data, whereas Chapter Four carries out the analysis, and discusses the research findings. Chapter Five is the practical part that concludes the researchers study with a project proposal The researcher is expected to draw a lot of data or information from the parishioner's women and schoolgirls who know and understand the concept of poverty and illiteracy in their own reality better than any body else.
