 Rendile Women in Korr, Marsabit county attending literacy classes under an Acacia tree. [Beldeen Waliaula, Standard]

Learning is a journey of a thousand miles. A journey that begins with simple steps like learning vowels, alphabets, and even numbers. It may seem simple to those who began school while young, but to the Rendile women here in Korr, Marsabit, their quest to gain literacy, is a pursuit of a lifetime.

As the sun battles time to keep its rays on earth, the unconventional class is warming up at noon under an acacia tree that offers some respite from the scorching heat.

From afar, you might think this is a village baraza since the women are adorned in their home clothes and cultural attire of beads, necklaces and anklets.
