La ONG Fundación Kirira nace en 2007 con el objetivo principal de erradicar la mutilación genital femenina en Kenia. 

La mutilación genital femenina es una de las formas de violencia de género más extrema que se conocen. Se realiza entre los 7 y los 17 años y conlleva numerosas consecuencias para las niñas como lesiones físicas, emocionales y psicológicas, incluso, en ocasiones, llega a provocar la muerte.

Además, la Fundación cuenta con proyectos a largo plazo de ayuda al desarrollo, al empoderamiento de las mujeres y a la mitigación de la pobreza en las áreas en las que se realizan estas prácticas, principalmente en Tharaka, Kuria y Tangulbei. Tienen como eje central el fomento de la educación y la asistencia a la escuela de las niñas.

Con Projects Abroad, puedes enseñar en el extranjero y ayudar a los niños a acceder a la educación que necesitan para un futuro mejor.

Sabemos que la educación es fundamental para romper las barreras de la pobreza y la desigualdad. Lo vemos todos los días en nuestras prácticas de enseñanza. A través de nuestros programas de enseñanza en el extranjero, podrás hacer que este cambio suceda por tu propia mano. También es una excelente manera de desarrollar las habilidades que necesitarás para una carrera docente, o de descubrir si convertirte en maestro es el camino correcto para ti.

Si bien la mayoría de nuestros programas de enseñanza en el extranjero se enfocan en ayudar a los estudiantes a aprender inglés, puedes enseñar otras materias. ¿Te apasiona la educación física, el arte o la historia? Haznos saber lo que quiere enseñar y lo emparejaremos con el proyecto correcto.
