Reverse Deserts Through Community Transformation

We were excited when Global Giving visited our project in Kenya. The children sang songs and danced as they entertained our special guest. But most importantly, the local Masai people and the school children were able to express their thanks to Global Giving and all of our sponsors.

We met with the Masai elders and their wives in their mud houses or manyattas. We visited the local school as we were best able to show Global Giving the needs of the community, as well as, what has already been accomplished.

Reversing deserts is not easy work. However, thanks to your support we are now able to produce 100,000 seedlings monthly in our nursery.

With the goal of reforesting 100 acres per year, we are still in need of water resources such as boreholes or dams. Water, being the essential ingredient to life, is also our greatest need.

We have helped the local Masai community construct one dam (man-made lake) and we hope that with your help we can bring clean water for bathing, drinking etc to the entire Masai community.

The things we take for granted in America, such as water, are actually luxuries in Kenya. Most women and children have to walk all day just to access water. Obviously, school for girls becomes secondary in this situation. This is why your continued support in helping the local Masai community develop access to water will enable these vulnerable people to live productive lives, thus becoming an asset to the world community rather than a liablity. Help us change Africa, one Tree at a Time!
