About The Maasai Trust
Understanding the Crisis in Maasai Land
The situation facing the Maasai and Samburu communities is dire. A devastating drought has claimed the lives of 120,000 Maasai, representing a significant portion of the 1.1 million living in Kenya and North Tanzania. Furthermore, this crisis has wiped out 91% of the Maasai’s precious livestock, their primary source of livelihood. The Maasai Trust recognizes the urgency of the situation and is committed to providing relief and support where it is needed most.

The MLEEP and Flex Farm initiatives form a transformative partnership, creating a pathway for the Maasai community to achieve self-reliance. By promoting education and ensuring access to essential resources, these projects empower the Maasai people to take charge of their future, lessen dependence on external aid, and build a sustainable, resilient, and prosperous community.

MLEEP equips the Maasai people with essential literacy skills, paving the way for a brighter future built on knowledge and self-reliance. By bridging the generational gap, this initiative ensures that both the young and old have the opportunity to engage in education and empowerment.

Why?
Global Challenges: The convergence of the pandemic and climate change has only exacerbated the humanitarian disaster unfolding in the Horn of Africa. While millions face famine, including the Maasai, the resources available for aid have been drained due to conflicts such as those in Ukraine and Israel. Without intervention, the Maasai’s survival is uncertain.
Unjust Aid Distribution: Despite facing the same devastating drought as other regions, the Maasai have received minimal aid compared to others. This inequality highlights the need for organizations like The Maasai Trust, dedicated to ensuring that every donation directly benefits those most affected by the crisis.
Your Donation Matters:Your support is crucial in providing essential resources and assistance to the Maasai and Samburu communities. The Maasai Trust guarantees that every dollar you contribute will be used to support those in need, making a direct and meaningful impact.
Direct Impact:With minimal overhead costs, The Maasai Trust serves as a direct bridge between donors and the Maasai communities. Your contributions are efficiently utilized to provide relief, hope, and support where it is needed most.
Community Support:Through a network of churches within Maasai communities, overseen by community elders, The Maasai Trust ensures that aid is distributed equitably, fostering a sense of unity and solidarity among the Maasai and Samburu.
Empowering Locals:By hiring as many Maasai as possible, The Maasai Trust not only provides employment opportunities but also ensures that money flows back into the community, promoting growth and sustainability.
