What we were already doing
A collaboration came into existence through the introduction with the two Maasai communities in 2007. For example, we started to make an inventory of the local problems to make sure we didn’t step into the known pitfalls of giving aid. Immediately we started working together with the communities in different areas (see the four initiatives). TOGETHER we renovated schools, we built toilets, we established school committee’s, sent teachers to college, we drew attention to the position of girls in school, we explained the importance of textbooks to parents, we supported women’s groups, we arranged for a brochure, we arranged a workshop for all the people involved, we started adult education, etc., etc.
We need your help to support our projects and people in Kenya.

BTI Foundation: qualified teachers
By now 7 teachers are attending College during the school holidays. Improvements are becoming visible at both schools. Our hopes are on first graduations in 2011!
BTI Foundation: first time fund-raising
Looking back we could say that this first fund-raising campaign also gave the go-ahead for adult education. At their own request Maasai fathers joined in as well!
BTI Foundation: good materials are a must
We were able to buy lots of various materials, ranking from school desks and learning material to chalks and felt-tips. With these materials education improves!
