No one in her village would have dreamed that Kakenya Ntaiya’s future would include a college degree from Randolph-Macon Woman’s College in Virginia. Raised in a mud-walled hut in Western Kenya, she challenged her father and her community by refusing to get married at age 15. Now, Kakenya is working alongside the United Nations Population Fund to help challenge the cultural norms around allowing pre-teen and teenage girls to marry.
