Our Mission

Global Roots is dedicated to protecting vulnerable children while ensuring they receive education, nutrition, and emotional support. Through community-driven solutions, we create a future where every child thrives.

Stolen Childhoods

Across Kenya’s Maasai community, our work is helping girls escape FGM, stay in school, and reclaim their futures—with legal protection, safe shelters, and year-round mentorship.

Hunger & Instability

In times of crisis, hunger pushes children out of classrooms and into survival. Our school garden programs feed both bodies and minds—ensuring every child can learn without going hungry.

Lack of Protection

Without safe spaces, vulnerable children face violence, exploitation, and fear. Global Roots provides shelters, mentorship, and round-the-clock protection—creating environments where children can finally feel safe and supported.

AFGHANISTAN

Harvesting Hope

A hungry child cannot learn. Our programs combine education with nourishment. Through school gardens and local agriculture, we provide fresh food to children and their families.

Why We Do What We Do

Global Roots exists to protect children in crisis – whether it’s an Afghan girl defying a school ban or a Maasai girl running from FGM – because we believe every girl deserves safety, dignity, and the chance to dream freely.

**“You can silence a classroom, but not a child’s will to learn.“**

Wahaj, Girls’ Education Coordinator, Afghanistan

“When we rescue a girl, we’re not just saving her, we’re freeing generations after her“

Mary Keruta, FGM Survivor & Girls’ Mentor, Kenya

“This work isn’t about charity, it’s about justice where the world has looked away”

Rick Montgomery, Founder Global Roots

FGM ZERO: KENYA

From Rescue to Resilience

Saving a girl is just the beginning – keeping her in school is the key to her future. Through educational funding, safe housing, mentorship and outreach, we break the circle of harm and open doors to opportunity.

The Legal Campaign

For many Maasai girls, the legal letter is the shield that stands between them and FGM or early marriage. Our legal campaign gives them the power to say no. And when schools close for the holiday, our school holiday program ensures they stay safe, supported, and surrounded by a community that believes in their dreams.
