Our humanitarian projects

Our completed projects: 

● Thanks to numerous donations and charity events from several schools, we have already been able to build and equip four school classrooms and housing for teachers.

● The first preschool class of the free English-language elementary school has been taught since March 2022, and a new class of 30 pupils has been admitted each year to the six-grade elementary school since January 2023. Operating costs (teachers' salaries, meals for the children, school materials, uniforms, etc.) are funded by sponsorships and other donations.
We are looking for additional donors to help us achieve our goals.

● Installation of water recovery systems

● Tree planting

● Under the motto "Teach the Teacher", volunteers are regularly on hand to support local teachers and provide methodological training.

● In 2023, we were able to buy 2 hectares of agricultural land near the school, for self-sufficient farming of the school, and practical garden, as well as teaching permaculture to the local population. Char2Cool is helping us to implement this project.

● The regional group Engineers Without Borders Austria/Tyrol has been working for Eramatare since 2023 on the financing and construction of a water pipeline .

Current projects : 

● Raising awareness of plastic waste and sorting among local populations

● Clean-up actions in the Massai region of Engaruka, plastic collection and recycling twice a month.

● Empowerment of Maasai women through traditional jewelry workshops

● Creation of a school-run cooperative for the sale of jewelry and traditional objects created by Maasai women, with profits going to Maasai women.
