Description
I am Jonathan, I am 25 years old, married to my awesome wife Eunice and have a one year old son named Moses! I am an orphan myself who was helped to clear his education by an American family. I founded the project to help my community overcome the challenges that are facing the youth in Kajiado. The youth in our community face many difficult challenges from Female Genital Mutilation and Child Marriage to access to clean water and a good education. We help by connecting volunteers to projects on the ground here in the Kajiado community. We offer volunteers the unique ability to choose which projects they would like to get involved with when they arrive.
We are constantly looking to expand our network of volunteers and raise awareness of the issues that face the Maasai community. If you would like to learn more and "meet" me you can watch my interview on Arise News during my last trip to London to raise money and awareness for us in the UK!
I hope you come to stay with us!
