Thank you for your continued donations and support. Through your kindness we have been able to employ 8 full-time Masai warriors and we have assisted over 2500 Masai children. Currently, there are over 30 Masai men and women who work as casual laborers and thus, our program is assisting the local Masai community by generating incomes around the process of growing trees.
All our Masai workers wanted to wish Global Giving and its supporters Merry Christmas! The visits by Global Giving staff and supporters over the past year have really made an impact in the lives of the Shompole Group Ranch Masai of southern Kenya.
With over 25,000 trees already planted out and nearly 100,000 seedlings ready to go, we expect to make 2009 the best year ever for the Masai. Since the Magadi region is completely desertified, we are excited about the opportunity, with your assistance, to reverse these deserts and to change the lives of some of the poorest people in the world through our tree planting program.
With your help, we can combat global warming, empower women, generate wealth for traditionally poor communities and bring back the beautiful Kenyan biodiversity, including the wildlife, by planting 100,000's of trees in 2009.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Africa Conservation Trust staff in Kenya.
