La experiencia

I'm so happy that you are here. Our project in Maasai Mara is fulfilling a dream of a more equal world, where everyone can learn new skills and use them to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
Our volunteers help to plant and harvest the crops at the "shamba", as well as doing outreach activities with the local schools about agriculture and how to take of our world.
Does this sound like something that you are passionate about? Get in touch :)

Programa detallado

We are a social enterprise where, as well as volunteers, you will find travellers who are staying at the eco lodge as part of their safari adventure. Our aim is to offer real support and empowerment to the local community to encourage them to partake in the tourism industry with their own enterprises. In order to reach this goal, we focus on:
- Provision of clean water for the community, so as to alleviate the burden of fetching water that women and children have, and enabling them to use their time to learn. Kids can go to the local schools and women partake in workshops of their choice.
- A "shamba" or farm where we grow as many vegetables as possible, not only as a provision to the kitchen in the ecolodge, but also to train the local community how to farm. At this stage, we are still understand what trees and veggies thrive in the area!
- Workshops - a lot of workshops!
