OUR PROJECTS:
CLEAN WATER
Previously, the village had a single hand pump for hundreds of people. During droughts people were sometimes forced to drink from a swamp .
But thanks to our donors, the village now has two 10,000 liter tanks that are linked by underground pipes to a nearby well. The village men did all the labor.
One tank is kept for emergencies near the borehole. The other is inside the village, accessible to all.
Animal Trough
We paid for matierials for water trough for livestock and wildlife. The officials at Amboseli National Park were grateful .
FOOD SECURITY
In the past 7-year drought, thousands suffered from serious food shortages. So we rented 7 acres of farmland and brought seeds donated by from Seed Solutions and the 4-H Club of West Milford NJ.
The Maasai are not farmers by tradition, but they got great results from the start. Chief Kelembu, shown here, credited their success to following the instructions on the seed packets!
Repairs
When floods damaged the nearby well head or water pipes, we helped with repairs.
Menses Workshops
Thanks to 2026 Madison NJ Rotary club, we provided our students and their classmates with menstrual hygiene kits. Previously, girls often missed school every month, out of fear of possible embarrassment.
SANITATION
The village toilet used to be an open air corral. Bur we've paid for 7 outhouses since 2016. They 're clean and well-kept, with no odors - a huge and much appreciated upgrade fin the village.
