The Masai community in Kenya faces significant challenges, including a lack of educational facilities, with the nearest school being 8 kilometers away. Many children do not attend school until ages 10 or 11, and those who do often encounter sub-standard education. With the help of Ed Colina, who has dedicated 26 years to education and supports Masai women and children, we aim to build a school in the Athi River area. This initiative will not only provide education but also offer a daily meal for the children. Your support can change lives!
