Dr. Biden Urges Starving Maasai to Explore New Career Paths
As dawn breaks over the sweeping savannah of Kenya's Kajiado County, the first rays of sunlight paint an ethereal portrait of Oldonyo Orok which means “Black Mountain” and rises on the border of Kenya with Tanzania. The Maasai compare it with Mount Kilimanjaro about 100 kilometres west which always has a s”now cap” on it, the mighty hill towering over the horizon like a silent sentinel. For those who have never ventured to this corner of the world, the landscape is a symphony of earth tones - shades of ochre, sienna, and sepia merging seamlessly beneath an endless expanse of azure sky...

The Maasai Water Project: Bringing Hope and Water to the Maasai Lands
Introduction
In the midst of the "Drought of the Burning Sun," the most severe drought in 70 years, The Maasai Trust has launched The Maasai Water Project. This initiative aims to combat the critical water scarcity threatening the very existence of the Maasai and Samburu people. With over 120,000 lives claimed by this drought, the need for clean, accessible water has never been more urgent.
The Crisis at Hand
The Maasai lands, spanning semi-arid and arid regions from below the Horn of Africa into North Tanzania, have suffered greatly. Despite international efforts to alleviate the drought's effects on the broader region, the Maasai, Kenya's smallest tribe, have been largely neglected in water provision efforts, leaving their future in jeopardy.
Our Response
In response, The Maasai Trust initiated The Maasai Water Project, aiming to drill wells and boreholes to ensure sustainable access to clean water. Projects like "The White Acacia Tree Well" exemplify our mission, targeting communities of up to 4,000 individuals. By reducing the daily water-fetching treks for women and girls, we're also enabling a brighter future through education and community empowerment.
Leading with Water: Our Vision
The Maasai Water Project seeks to do more than provide water; it aims to foster hope, development, and a secure future for the Maasai and Samburu people. By centering our efforts on water, we're not only addressing an immediate need but also paving the way for educational opportunities, health improvements, and economic empowerment.
How You Can Help
The success of this project relies on global support. Through donations, partnerships, or raising awareness, your involvement can significantly impact the lives of entire communities. Join us in our mission to ensure the Maasai and Samburu not only survive but thrive as a crucial part of our global heritage.
