The Maasai Education Foundation (Foundation) was formed in November 2016. The Foundation provides charitable support for the education of the Maasai people in the Arusha region of The United Republic of Tanzania (Tanzania), the mastery of the English language by Maasai children and adults, and educational exchange opportunities between Tanzania and the United States. In addition, the Foundation will educate the public about its work. The approved Foundation bylaws stipulate that the Foundation will devote at least 90% of donations to program expenses directly benefiting Maasai education and that all Foundation board members and others will be unpaid volunteers. To date, we have devoted over 99% of donations to program expenses.

Our school in Tanzania, the Engaruka English Medium Primary School (EEMPS), currently has 275 students in grades pre-school through 7. EEMPS consistently receives a school grade of A on the Tanzania national exams. In 2024, we graduated 29 7th graders who will all go on the the ENCO Secondary School, which we are in the process of helping build.
