Drought relief for a Kenyan Maasai community:

On our recent safari tour in Kenya, we were hosted and befriended by professional guides from the local Maasai community. From them, we learned about the crisis facing the local people due to the drought affecting many parts of Kenya and other African nations. Their livelihood depends on grazing livestock (cows, goats and sheep), which are rapidly dying from lack of water and grazable land which has totally dried out.

On recommendation from one of our Maasai friends, we connected with the local Kenyan Rotary Club director, who has committed to helping us raise contributions to drill a well in one of the local Maasai villages near Amboseli National Park, where we visited. We will send all funds collected to his organization, and they will oversee using it to build a well.
