We work in Maasai Mara Kenya and rural Morocco at the grassroots level. We are part of these communities.

This Winter, Help Bring Learning to Life for 1000 Children!

3rd Grade.jpeg

NAIRASIRASA PRIMARY outside Narok Town in the Maasai Mara is one of the most under-resourced schools we've worked with. A high-quality, relevant library will transform learning for 1000 students here, year after year. The Maasai Diaspora Community in the U.S. alerted us about this school, and they funded a library building. Now we need to provide the books, laptops, puzzles, globes, and other materials — along with capacity-building training for teachers and students to bring learning to life here.

Stories from the Field

"The Women's Work Center is not just a physical space. It is a symbol of hope and change. It reminds us that together, we can create a world where women are celebrated and empowered."

~ Hellen Nchoko, Manager of the Oliveseed Women's Work Center

The Olive Tree has been a symbol of peace for millenia.

Since the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans, the European Olive (Olea europaea) has been a symbol of peace and reconciliation; it also appears in monotheistic texts in this way. It's a tree that gives fruit even in the harshest conditions. In Maasai culture, the wild African Olive (Oloirien in Maa) is a holy tree, signifying both nurturing and strength and used in ceremonies that honor community. These are values we seek to cultivate.
