Cleia Noia and Kakenya Center for Excellence (KCE)
Born and raised in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where she worked as a corporate lawyer, Cleia is currently pursuing her master’s degree with The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Her concentrations are humanitarian studies, human security and international organizations, with a particular interest in poverty reduction, human rights and social justice.
This summer, Cleia will work in Enoosaen, Kenya, at the Kakenya Center for Excellence (KCE). KCE is a primary boarding school dedicated to serving the most vulnerable, underprivileged Maasai girls in the region. The center focuses on academic excellence, female empowerment, leadership, and community development.
As 2011 Peace Fellow, Cleia is looking forward to contributing to the amazing work developed by KCE. More specifically, she will help build a network of advocates against female genital mutilation as well as help build support and awareness, both in Kenya and the US, of KCE’s goals through community involvement and social network.
Cleia is looking to explore the intersection between the education of teenage girls and the effects both on their individual development and the development of their communities.
