About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

In this project, volunteers will work with the local Maasai community to support and take care of the wild animals in the Maasai Mara. The organization was founded in 2006 with the aim of preserving and safeguarding the Big five’ which are Lions, Buffalos, Rhinos, Elephants and Leopards in the Maasai Mara Game reserve. These animals are under the threat of extinction if proper measures are not undertaken to ensure their survival. This is why this organization was started with an aim of guaranteeing their survival by speaking to local Maasai communities about the dangers of killing these animals, organizing cultural dances and competitions, organizing seminars and sensitizing the community against poaching and bad cultural practices that might lead to wildlife killings.

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers will be involved in women empowerment activities, children education sponsorship, youth empowerment activities like tree planting, Environmental awareness, clean-up’s, anti poaching activities, peace mitigation through music/traditional dances, HIV/AIDS Awareness and wildlife advocacy. Guidance will be given to the volunteers by the leaders of the organization. The volunteers will work 5 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday are free. Sometimes, depending on the nature of work, the time can be extended.
