Leah Malano is the first Maasai girl to be sponsored for four full years of high school by the Madison Interact Club, which raised $1500  and has since sponsored three other girls all the way through high school.
This Grant from Madison Rotary club Will allow Leah to complete her certificate in wildlife tourism and work in that field thereafter. The grant covered not only tuition, but room and board and other essentials as well. 

Leah sent a thank you letter to the club as follows:

Subject: Appreciation for Your Support Through the Maasai Girls Fund

Dear Members of Madison Rotary Club and Madison Interact Club, I am writing to sincerely thank you for your generous support provided through the Maasai Girls Fund. Your contribution, which will cover my school fees, room, board, and basic essentials for the remainder of the academic year, has made a significant difference in my life. As a student at Wildlife Clubs of Kenya and a beneficiary of the Maasai Girls Fund, I am truly grateful. Your support has lifted a major burden, allowing me to focus fully on my education. Beyond the financial assistance, your kindness reminds me that there are people who believe in the potential of girls from communities like mine. I also wish to extend my thanks to the Madison Interact Club for their continued involvement. It is uplifting to see young people playing an active role in helping others-it gives me hope and inspires me to give back in the future. Page 1 Thank you once again for investing in my future. I am committed to making the most of this opportunity and hope to one day support others just as you have supported me. Kind regards, Leah Malano
