Maasai Education Center

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM  –  LED BY THE MAASAI FOR THE MAASAI

MCV is Building a Maasai Education Center

MCV is excited to announce that we have started to construct a Maasai Education Center in Amboseli Kenya.  It is a community center where Maasai children learn and play; cultural knowledge meets modern education; Maasai traditions are preserved and artifacts are respectfully displayed; community members gather for civic issues and women gather to make and showcase their beadwork to visitors in the area. This is a community center dedicated to cultural preservation, education, and sustainable development.

The Center is located just 10 miles from the Amboseli National Park entrance, where MCV owns 13-Acres of land for the development of a Maasai Education Center. MCV has allocated 3 acres for the center, and 10-acres of land directly behind the center for planting medicinal, fruit trees, and to grow the food needed to feed the community, school children, orphans in the area.

The Maasai Education Center provides opportunities for the Maasai to share their heritage with visitors, which will include a large percentage of the annual tourists who visit Amboseli National Park. Amboseli is designated as a UNESCO biosphere and remains famous as a premier place in Africa for its intimate wildlife viewings, which include frequent sights of free-ranging elephants, lions, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, antelope, and over 600 species of birds. Because of the Maasai’s harmonious way of life, the wildlife flourishes in the area attracting approximately 600,000 tourists to enjoy safaris annually.

Updates & Behind the Scenes Photos and Videos of Building the Maasai Education Center

Connecting Youth from USA and Kenya for Climate Action

In April 2023 MCV traveled to Kenya with a passionate team of 21, mostly high school youth to build the first classroom at the Maasai Education Center! We equipped the Center with laptops and other tech tools so our students can work together and become agents for positive change in protecting and preserving their local environment through MCV’s Climate Action Campaign. The center seeks to inspire and educate young people on the importance of protecting the environment through indigenous traditional knowledge, and safeguarding the traditions and cultures of Indigenous communities to nurture an appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living things on Earth – ultimately driving sustainable practices that benefit us both locally and around the world!
