After-School Education Program: 

To ensure that the children we support receive a quality education that equips them with valuable skills and knowledge, we offer an after-school education program. Linda Otieno, serving as the CEO and teacher at Mara Action Aid, oversees this program. Here, children receive extra lessons in English as well as additional support in other subjects they study at school. We also provide thorough and targeted preparation for tests and exams. Our emphasis is on making learning enjoyable and engaging while upholding high-quality teaching standards.

Economic Support 

We provide comprehensive support to ensure that children can access education. This includes covering school fees, supplying books and writing materials, and providing school uniforms—expenses that are often beyond the means of their families.

Why Our Educational Program Is Necessary:

The children attend public schools where, despite being publicly funded, mandatory school fees are still required. Unfortunately, the quality of education in these schools is often inadequate, despite rigorous standards set from an early age. Additionally, instruction is exclusively in English, a language not commonly spoken in the Maasai community. As the children do not learn English at home, passing annual exams starting from first grade is essential for progressing to the next grade. This situation means that Maasai children from extremely impoverished backgrounds face significant challenges from their first day of school onward. There is little support for struggling children at these schools. Therefore, our educational program is vital for ensuring that children learn effectively and complete their education.
