Jockey and veterinarian Ferrin Peterson has launched her latest “The Boundless Podcast,” and her guest is Dr. Kayce Anderson, who is the daughter of WinStar Farm co-founder Bill Casner. Anderson is the executive director of the charity “For the Good.” In her bio on the organization's website, she is described as “a humanitarian, ecologist, mom, explorer, and student.” The For the Good website describes the charity's work as follows: “We work in a region of Kenya that has been labeled as 'not wanting education.' Our experience shows us the opposite: that many Maasai parents recognize the value of education and desire it for their children. We work with them to address barriers of access to affordable education, especially those experienced by girls.” During the podcast, Anderson shares how For the Good began with a simple but massive barrier: many girls miss school during puberty because they don't have access to menstrual hygiene products. What started as providing reusable sanitary pads–paired with reproductive health education–evolved into something even larger: enrolling out-of-school students (most of them girls) and partnering with Maasai communities in Narok County to build local, affordable secondary schools. You'll hear why humility matters more than “having the answers,” what it really takes to earn trust with elders and educators, and how sustainable impact is built through shared ownership–sometimes literally one goat at a time. Anderson breaks down the community-matching model that funds these schools, the patience required to work at the “pace of the earth,” and why education is both a lifeline and a tool for preserving culture and protecting land rights. This conversation is a powerful reminder that real change isn't fast, flashy, or imposed–it's relational, community-led, and built to last. To learn more or support For the Good, click here.
