With the unemployment rate for Maasai youth at a staggering 85%, Basecamp has taken progressive steps to reduce this catastrophic number. We have been instrumental in building a 3 million dollar Wildlife Tourism College in the heart of the Maasai Mara. Here students are offered an excellent education and immense potential to work in the vibrant tourist industry.
Now, Basecamp supports students with scholarships covering the annual tuition of $2,400, which also includes room and board. Areas of study: tour guiding, wildlife technician, front office, housekeeping and laundry, and food production, beverage, sales and service.
If you are able to cover the full tuition we will connect you with a student (you can specify their gender if you wish).
