WHAT WE DO

EDUCATION

RAMAT OONTOYIE (Nurturing the girl)
Quality education for all is the single most effective way to reduce poverty, improve health and economic well-being, and bring development to communities throughout the world. Persistent poverty and cultural belief in the Maasai community perpetuate the subjugation inequality and human rights violations.

SEXUAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

BIOTISHO EISHOI™ (Reproductive Health)
Good sexual and reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being in all reproductive systems. It implies that people can have a satisfying and safe sex life, the capability to reproduce, and the freedom to decide if, when, and how often to do so. Every individual has the right to make their own choices about their sexual and reproductive health.
Young people are also extremely vulnerable, often facing barriers to sexual and reproductive health information and care. We work to ensure sexual and reproductive health and rights remain at the very center of development within the Maasai Community

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY (Climate Change)

ERAMATATA OLMANYARA™ (‘ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT’)
Climate change threatens the livelihoods and well-being of all people and societies. Yet the impacts of climate change are likely to be worse for the poor and marginalized, who lack the resources to effectively adapt as droughts, floods, and other concerns take effect.
And because climate change affects ecosystems and agriculture, many of the negative effects will disproportionately burden women and youth, who bear the responsibilities of food production and water collection. This program aims to assist the community in finding ways to r

For other net participants we can offer an expert guidance through trained staff, give an expert opinion, procure expert information and establish new contacts in the field of our work.
