Our projects supporting Maasai education, environment and health

We support a scholarship program for secondary school students in nearby communities. Tuition, room and board is $500 annually per child; four-year donors are connected one-on-one to their special student.
WTC is a centralized hub for tourism, vocational education, research, and community capacity building. It is an educational tourism camp that brings together 7 existing learning centers and provides critical skill gap training to 1,800 students.
Lease payments to Maasai landowners ensure that animal migration corridors remain open and unfenced, while also providing a stream of revenue to landowners.
To counterbalance severe deforestation, we have planted over 500,000 trees, and our goal is to reach one million.
As of 2024, dental teams have made four missions to the Mara, bringing medical care and relief from dental agony to the Maasai community. Well over 1,000 patients have been treated so far.
In early 2024, we helped raise over $10,000 toward the cost of building a new community medical clinic. Help us ensure the new clinic is built and that adequate medical care is provided for Maasai families in the region.
