PROJECTS

The Maternity Clinic

The maternal center at Merrueshi Village Health Center will provide care to pregnant women throughout their pregnancy. Professional care will be offered to all women free of charge. The Maternity Clinic will be staffed with registered nurses with obstetrical background and a social worker. A physician will be contracted on a need bases. A majority of Maasai women still depend on assistant from Traditional Birth Attendants (TBA). As a result we plan to have traditional birth attendants work alongside registered nurses at the maternal center. Click to support this project.

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 2011. The reason is lack of space. Help us build a dormitory and enroll 80 new students in high school. Click to make a donation for this project.

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 restore the waterholes and harvest rainwater that would otherwise be lost to evaporation or runoff. Click to support or learn more about this conservation project.

PROGRAMS

Goats and Cows Program for Food Security and School Fees

The Maasai people depend on goats and cows for a living. To a Maasai, having a cow is the same as having money or a bank account for an American. The goats and cows provide families with milk, cheese, and school fees for their children. With your help we can open economic opportunities for Maasai families and send children to school.

Maasai Children Education Fund (MCEF)

Well-wisher can now fund education for a Maasai child in Merrueshi Primary School. For $120 you can put a child through school for an entire year. Your support will make education more attainable for a Maasai child with no chance to attended school. Click to send a Maasai child to school today.

Community members' involvement and participation is central in the design and implementation of our programs and projects.
