The Esiloya Masai community is made up of many tiny villages in a remote part of the Kajiado district of the Masai Mara. Long term droughts over the last 10 years have caused severe problems for the families in this region.
We have been supporting a wonderful project partnering with the local families and government, providing school buildings, education for school age children and and water for the wider community. Providing nutritious school meals for the children each school day guarantees most children will attend school. The boys who would normally be tending the animals and the girls who would normally be married off by 12 years are much more likely able to continue their education.
The first ever secondary school in the area, providing for 350 children between 14-18 years of age has been completed with Global Angels funding. The new water well providing for 6,000 in the wider catchment area is almost completed. Education gives a community and individuals so much more choice in how they live and a chance for a more sustainable way of life.
This project is outstanding in it’s respect of the local community and empowering families and children. We would love to encourage the families in this village by sponsoring their children in school and helping through the poverty that comes with long term drought.
