| TANZANIA, NGORONGORO:(1) FOOD AND SUPPLIES: MAASAI FAMILIES LOCKED DOWN DURING COVID QUARANTINE WERE UNABLE TO ACCESS TRADING MARKETS TO ACQUIRE BASIC GOODS SUCH AS MAIZE, BEANS, OIL AND SOAP. BY WAY OF THEIR LIVESTOCK, THE MAASAI HAVE ACCESS TO MILK, BLOOD AND MEAT WHICH THEY CONSUME SPARINGLY. SOUR MILK AND OTHER ANIMAL PRODUCTS ARE USED TO TRADE FOROTHER FOOD. TRADE WAS NOT POSSIBLE DURING LOCKDOWN. MAASAI WATER PROJECT PROVIDED SUPPORT TO THREE VILLAGES (ABOUT 250 PEOPLE) DURING THE LOCKDOWN AND AFTER REOPENING. THE VILLAGES WERE SUPPLIED WITH ITEMS SUCH AS SOAP, MAIZE, BEANS, OIL AND CLOTHING.(2) DELIVERY OF SAFE CLEAN WATER: MAASAI WATER PROJECT PROVIDED FUNDING TO PURCHASE CLEAN WATER FROM A WATER DELIVERY TANKER. THE MAASAI VILLAGES RECEIVE THE WATER TO FILL SEVERAL LARGE 10L ABOVE GROUND PLASTIC WATER STORAGE TANKS LOCATED AT THEIR VILLAGE. OTHER MAASAI FAMILIES FROM NEIGHBORING VILLAGES ALSO ACCESS THIS WATER. PROVIDING WATER VIA THE WATER DELIVERY TRUCK IN THE CURRENT SOLUTION UNTIL A LONG TERM SUSTAINABLE WATER SOLUTION IS IN PLACE.(3) HEALTH CARE - MEDICAL AID:(3A) MOBILE REMOTE MEDICINE: DURING COVID LOCKDOWN, THE MAASAI OF NGORONGORO EXPERIENCED THE COLDEST AND DRIEST WINTER IN RECENT MEMORY. IT EVEN SNOWED. OTULO, AT 100 YEARS OLD THE OLDEST LIVING ELDER IN NGORONGORO, BECAME AFFLICTED WITH PNEUMONIA. AFTER MONTHS OF TRYING TO CURE HIMSELF WITH TRADITIONAL BUSH MEDICINE, OTULO WAS NEAR DEATH. HIS CHILDREN HAD GATHERED FROM FAR AWAY VILLAGES TO PREPARE FOR HIS FUNERAL.OTULO WAS UNABLE TO BREATHE, SPEAK, HEAR, OR SIT UP. WHEN WE LEARNED OF OTULO'S CONDITION, MAASAI WATER PROJECT CONTACTED A DOCTOR IN THE AREA AND ARRANGED FOR A VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT THE DOCTOR TO OTULO'S HOME. MAASAI WATER PROJECT PROVIDED COORDINATION OF MEDICAL SERVICES AND FUNDING FOR TRANSPORTATION, DOCTOR FEES AND MEDICATION. OTULO ACCEPTED THE MEDICAL INTERVENTION WELL AND BEGAN TO IMPROVE IMMEDIATELY. THREE MONTHS POST TREATMENT OTULO WAS BACK WALKING AND TALKING AGAIN.MAASAI WATER PROJECT ALSO PROVIDED ADDITIONAL MONETARY AID FOR OTULO'S ONLY WIFE DURING THIS TIME AS SHE WAS UNABLE TO LEAVE HER HUSBAND'S SIDE. CARING FOR OTULO AROUND THE CLOCK PREVENTED HIS WIFE FROM BEING ABLE TO PERFORM HER REGULAR DUTIES. MAASAI WATER PROJECT PROVIDED HER FAMILY ADDITIONAL AID DURING THIS TIME. (3B) ACCESS TO SPECIALTY CARE: WE LEARNED OF ONE YOUNG MAASAI WOMAN NAMED MARIA WHO HAD SUFFERED FROM EPILEPSY SINCE SHE WAS A CHILD. MARIA'S CONDITION REQUIRES THAT SHE TAKE ONE PILL TWICE A DAY TO CONTROL HER EPILEPTIC SEIZURES. A SMALL CLINIC IS ACCESSIBLE TO MARIA BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE EMERGENCY CARE. THE NEAREST PHARMACY THAT CARRIES MARIA'S MEDICINE IS MORE THAN A DAYS WALK ON FOOT. DUE TO HER REMOTE LOCATION AND LACK OF MONITORY INCOME, MARIA'S FAMILY HAS BEEN UNABLE TO ACQUIRE HER MEDICATION. MAASAI WATER PROJECT WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A CONSISTENT SUPPLY OF MEDICATION FOR A MARIA. MAASAI WATER PROJECT PRE PURCHASED A ONE YEAR SUPPLY OF MARIA'S EPILEPSY MEDICATION MADE IT AVAILABLE TO HER AT THE NEARBY CLINIC. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MARIA'S 21 YEARS OF LIFE, SHE DOES NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IF SHE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO MEDICATION AND OR WHEN SHE'S GOING TO HAVE HER NEXT SEIZURE.(4) ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN: DURING OUR VISIT TO NGORONGORO IN DECEMBER 2019, MAASAI WATER PROJECT PURCHASED A NUMBER PIECES OF HANDMADE MAASAI JEWELRY FROM SEVERAL OF THE WOMEN. WE PAID THE WOMEN THEIR ASKING PRICE AT THE TIME OF SALE. DURING 2020 WE WERE ABLE TO RE-SELL SOME OF THAT JEWELRY. MAASAI WATER PROJECT SENT MONEY BACK TO THE WOMEN JEWELRY MAKERS, PROVIDING ADDITIONAL ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITYAND PERSONAL EMPOWERMENT FOR THOSE MAASAI WOMEN.(5) CHILDREN'S EDUCATION AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES: ONE OF THE TWO MAIN VILLAGES CURRENTLY RECEIVING OUR SUPPORT IS HOME TO 37 CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 8. THE CLOSEST SCHOOL IS TOO FAR FOR THEM TO WALK. WE CONSTRUCTED A SMALL HOME SCHOOL MADE OF COLLECTED BRANCHES. AT THE START OF THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR, MAASAI WATER PROJECT SUPPLIED AND DELIVERED ALL THE NECESSARY SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR THE VOLUNTEER TEACHER AND OUR ENTIRE CLASS OF 37 CHILDREN FOR THE 2020 SCHOOL YEAR.(6) ADULT EDUCATION IN LANGUAGE: DURING OUR VISIT TO NGORONGORO IN DECEMBER OF 2019, THE MAASAI CHIEF EXPRESSED HIS LIFELONG DREAM TO LEARN ENGLISH.. THIS WAS A SEEMINGLY UNATTAINABLE GOAL AS IT WOULD REQUIRE HIM TO LEAVE HIS VILLAGE, TRAVEL SEVERAL HOURS BY CAR, FIND ACCOMMODATION IN A FARAWAY TOWN AND STAY TO STUDY FOR MANY MONTHS.THE LOGISTICS AND EXPENSE WERE TOO DIFFICULT TO SURMOUNT. MAASAI WATER PROJECT FOUND A MAASAI TUTOR THAT AGREED TO LIVE WITH THE CHIEF AT HIS VILLAGE WHILE TUTORING HIM IN ENGLISH AT HOME. THE CHIEF STUDIED ENGLISH SPEAKING, READING AND WRITING FOR THREE MONTHS. WE WERE ABLE TO INCLUDE SOME WARRIORS AND SOME WOMEN AS STUDENTS. THE AT HOME TUTORING PROGRAM WAS SO SUCCESSFUL, WE DECIDED TO EXTEND IT FOR AN ADDITIONAL SIX MONTHS.(7) EDUCATION & HEALTH FOR SCHOOL AGED GIRLS: THE NEAREST SCHOOL IS LOCATED AT MYSIGYO. BUILT BY AFRICA FUND, THIS SCHOOL HAS AN ENROLLMENT OF NEARLY 1,000 CHILDREN. ALTHOUGH ROUGHLY HALF OF THE ENROLLED STUDENTS ARE GIRLS, ONLY ABOUT 10% ACTUALLY ATTEND CLASS. ONCE THE GIRLS ENTER PUBERTY, THEY TEND TO MISS ABOUT ONE WEEK OF SCHOOL PER MONTH.EVENTUALLY THE BURDEN TO KEEP UP WITH THEIR STUDIES BECOMES TOO HIGH AND MOST GIRLS DROP OUT OF SCHOOL. THE MAASAI GIRLS AND WOMEN ON NGORONGORO HAVE NO ACCESS TO ANY SANITARY PRODUCTS. FOR THIS REASON, MAASAI WATER PROJECT PARTNERED WITH THE AUSTRALIAN COMPANY MODIBODI. MODIBODI MANUFACTURES AND RETAILS SANITARY REUSABLE UNDERWEAR. EACH PAIR OF MODIBODI UNDERWEAR RETAILS FOR ABOUT $25 USD. MODIBODY DONATED 1,000 PAIRS OF THEIR PRODUCT TO US. AT THE END OF THE 2020 SCHOOL YEAR, MAASAI WATER PROJECT SUPPLIED THE SCHOOL GIRLS AT MYSIGYO WITH SANITARY UNDERWEAR, SOAP AND PRODUCT EDUCATION. MAASAI WATER PROJECT WILL MONITOR PROGRESS AND FEEDBACK FROM THE STUDENTS DURING THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR.(8) EDUCATION: MAASAI WATER PROJECT PARTNERED WITH US RETAILER HOUSE OF TAKURA TO PROVIDE BACKPACKS FOR CHILDREN ATTENDING SCHOOL IN NGORONGORO. HOT DESIGNED A SPECIFIC BACKPACK TO BE SOLD ON THEIR RETAIL WEBSITE TO RAISE AWARENESS AND FUNDS FOR OUR BACKPACK PROGRAM. HOT HAS STARTED WITH A DONATION OF 10 NEW BACKPACKS FOR THE MAASAI SCHOOL CHILDREN. THIS PROGRAM WILL BE MARKETED AND EXPANDED IN 2021. | $36,918 | $57,070 |
