Maasai 2026: Building Classrooms, Building Hope

Please help us raise $30,000 to build two new, desperately needed classrooms for our Maasai friends. Education is one of the three pillars of our partnership, along with water and food sustenance. Your support will help provide safe, inspiring learning spaces, increase access for local students (especially girls and children with disabilities), and increase enrollment. Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to giving these children the chance for a brighter future through education.

Last March, a group of church members visited the Maasai community in rural Kenya with whom we have partnered for over twenty years. They participated in the construction of a medical center and made improvements to the local girls’ shelter. We saw firsthand how each of these projects and our past projects, from beekeeping to solar panels to drought-resistant goats, are positively impacting the community.

While we were there, we had the opportunity to visit the local schools where our congregants have supported students through scholarships. The teachers and children welcomed us and showed us what they were working on and their facilities. At one school, some of our group “taught” for a day and saw firsthand how classrooms were filled beyond capacity. Two new classrooms will help provide much-needed space for the children in the village to get the education they need and deserve.
