Dormitory
Project for 80 High School Students
We
need a dormitory at Maasai High School in order to meet an overwhelming
number of students ready for a high school education. “Almost
a quarter-million students who sat last year’s Kenya Certificate
of Primary Education (KCPE) examinations will not join secondary
school in 2010” The East African Standard, January 2010.
The reason is lack of space. Help us build a dormitory and enroll
80 new students in high school. Click

The
Waterholes Restoration
Project
The
Waterholes Restoration Project is aimed at restoring 26 natural
waterholes in Merrueshi Group Ranch. Wildlife and pastoralists
of East Africa have for centuries depended on seasonal waterholes.However,
due to excessive vegetation growth and soil erosion the main
waterholes have silted up. Our goal is to renovate these critical
waterholes and harvest rainwater that would otherwise be lost
to evaporation or runoff.

Oloikarere
Well Project
As
in the case throughout Maasai land, clean and adequate water
supply is a critical need in Oloikarere community. The villagers
have no means of drilling a well in their community. Currently,
the people, livestock, and wildlife have to travel 8 miles to
Merrueshi community for drinking water. In the rainy season
residents of Oloikarere community depend on groundwater, which
is not safe for drinking or washing with. The absence of a clean
and adequate water supply imposes an enormous threat to the
health of the entire Oloikarere community. Click
