Education programs
In Maasai
community, girls are always left behind in terms of educational attainment.
This is because the Maasai culture prioritizes boys. This situation is worse
for girls who are born into disadvantaged Maasai families, as girls are
expected to marry at a young age - deferring educational attainment
permanently.
Food Security and Women's Empowerment
In this era of climate change in which drought is magnified, the problem of food insecurity is growing. Maasai elders and widows depend on agro-pastoralism for their livelihoods. Addressing this issue of food insecurity is at the core of our work.
Rain Water Harvest Program
Maasai live in a dry land whereby in most of their environment, there is no lake water. They depend on water from dams which they share with their livestock and use for all domestics tasks.
Elders’ Health and Health Insurance
As the elderly age, health issues increase.
Disadvantaged Maasai elders sleep on cow skin without enough clothes for protection from the cold. Food scacity and poor nutrition also contributes to poor health.
