PRIOR PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS

There are many factors which affect the programs and projects we run and support such as political changes, financial issues, and the nature of the programs themselves. As a result, some programs and projects may end. This page provides details.

Goat Program

2012-2018

From 2012 until 2018, we bought and distributed goats for families in need (who previously owned no livestock), which helped not only the recipient families themselves but also those who were selling the goats, bringing more revenue into the local economy.

Stoves and Solar Program

2015-2017

We partnered with Maasai Stoves and Solar to construct clean cook stoves in the homes of many Maasai women within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. These new stoves reduced smoke in the home by 90%, which previously negatively impacted the women doing the cooking as well as their children who reside in the home.

Government Health Cards @ Nainokanoka

From 2016 until 2018 (when the Tanzanian government shut it down), we participated in a wonderful program to provide Maasai families with a year of health care at the Nainokanoka Health Center for just $10 (an amount that the government matched). We hope this program will someday return to the area.

The Sendui Kindergarten was built in 2016 with help from partners Sisters for Peace & AMSO

Kindergartens Built

From 2013 until 2015, we paid for those who needed medical care—enough to cover boarding, food, travel expenses and their hospital expenses at the FAME (Foundation for African Medicine) Medical Center. We still use FAME on occasion as part of our mobile medical program.

FAME Medical Fund

2013-2015

Maasai Shine Cup (Soccer Tournament)

2018

Maasai Shine was a community-based organization in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA). It was run by Tanzanian Maasai who know exactly what their community needs. As one of the few local organizations operating in the NCA, the community-based organization was able to provide works to improve life for area people and coordinate with other organizations to bringing opportunity to the greater Alailelai area.
