SamenvattingThe status of girls reflects society’s sexual and reproductive health. Nomadic girls’ low social status mirrors their isolation, limited friendship networks, early marriage and female genital cutting (FGC), which undermines their sexual and reproductive health. Yet few sexual and reproductive health programmes reach these girls. This article discusses a new approach used to reach Maasai girls in Magadi and Loitokitok divisions of Kajiado County in Kenya with relevant information and services.
