Village Projects

Merrueshi Village Clinic

Merrueshi Village Clinic is providing basic healthcare services to nearly 5000 Maasai residents of Merrueshi and the neighboring communities. Apart from basic healthcare services, the village clinic has a strong emphasis on village hygiene, health education, disease prevention, treatment, vaccination and nutritional education for mothers and their children.

Maasai High School

The aim of Maasai High School is to increase educational opportunities for hundreds of Maasai children who otherwise not have the chance to attend high school. This school has become very popular because of its unique approach to formal education. The school takes Maasai cultural heritage into account and is economically affordable for hundreds of pastoralists in Kajiado Dstrict.

Merrueshi Primary School

Merrueshi Primary School was our first project. The school went from having classes under the acacia tree to having a full campus with all classrooms, teachers’ houses, dormitory facilities for boys and girls, and running water. Merrueshi Primary School is one of three best schools in Kajiado District. 55% of our primary school enrollment is girls! This is a tremendous achievement for a people who once shunned western education for girls.
