Supporting Maasai Communities Experiencing Extreme Poverty

DONATE TODAY

Lalafofofo-Amka Sasa works on the ground in Tanzania to address the immediate and long-term challenge of extreme poverty within Maasai communities located in rural Kilimanjaro.

Our Solution

Lalafofofo-Amka Sasa’s programs operate year-round in collaboration with our rural partner communities. All programming and projects are consistent with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. Our vision is to see youth in rural Kilimanjaro rise out of extreme poverty, and to grow and thrive in their communities.

Our impact is delivered through three pillars to ensure both immediate relief and long-term stability.

The Problem

The Maasai experience additional hardships and lack of access to resources in Tanzania due to their ethnicity. Extreme poverty contributes to several interconnected socio-economic problems including: food insecurity, child marriage, unemployment, lack of electricity, inadequate sanitation and stunting. Since 2015, we continue to work with Maasai communities to individually address these issues.
