  1. Highlands Kenya By Trevor Hewins and Jackson Lehrter

  2. The Masai Background • They are the most well known because they offer a glimpse of their culture • They continue to herd cows, goats, and sheep while other tribes strive for development • The women occupy a submissive role • Their houses are made of wooden branches, cow dung, and polythene papers

  3. About Ed Colina • We can help the education of the Masai children by donating to the Ed Colina Foundation. • Ed Colina went to Saint Xavier High School and Xavier College. • He completed a number of educational, agricultural, building projects in a remote village in Kenya called Kitui. • He has done other things like the St. Timothy School serving 190 children in Athi River slum. • And the St. Timothy Feeding Project serving porridge and lunch to the 190 children

  4. Education • Education is often the best and fastest way to improvement • Most Kenyan children don’t make it to school until they are 10 or 11 • Kids are placed in classes with students that are much younger • Girls are further disadvantaged because they must first complete a set of chores • Boys are also given first priority with the purchase of books and uniforms • Children who lack books and uniform are sent home • Few students reach 8th grade, fewer reach High School

  5. Education (cont.) • Children are not able to attend school due to their age and the distance from the nearest school • The nearest school is 8 kilometers away ( about 5 miles one way) • We know that there are at least 51 children preschool age who are not attending school currently

  6. Number of Preschoolers Not in School

  7. Please Help! • Please donate some money to help us build a school to help the Masai! With that money, we could help educate the children and also feed them !
