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
2016-2018
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

Funded by Sisters for Peace
Prior to the opening of the Nainokanoka Health Clinic in 2015, we paid for those who needed medical care at FAME—enough to cover boarding, food, travel expenses and their hospital expenses at the FAME (Foundation for African Medicine and Education) Medical Center. We still use FAME on occasion as part of our mobile medical program.

Maasai Shine Cup Soccer Tournament
2019
Maasai Shine was an incredibly popular community-building soccer tournament, at the end of which the winning team received a cow. It took place within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), and the 8 participating teams were created from different wards within the NCA. This was one of many programs (including all listed above) that was sponsored successfully by Maasai Partners, through the Tanzanian nonprofit Community-Based Organization (CBO) called Maasai Shine. Unfortunately, due to COVID, this exciting program came to an end.
