There are many obvious reasons for building schools but there are others that are no so obvious. Take for instance the first school we established in Eselalei -- the women  in a Masai community do just about everything that requires effort. They work the land, build the houses, prepare the food and personal freedom of any kind is just about non-existent for them.

That completely changes when they get an education. They begin to see life differently and, therefore, they create for themselves a completely different and far more enjoyable and rewarding way of life.

There are many big reasons for building schools in third-world countries -- but we tend to focus on the little reasons or, at least, the more personal ones.
