About Us
Laikipia County, Kenya supports a remarkable, robust population that consists mainly of Maasai and Samburu communities. Their cultural traditions go back more than a thousand years. Today, development and growth from nearby urban communities have added burdens to health care and education. The Loisaba Community Conservation Foundation provides support to families in and around Ewaso Village with support for water management, community health, food security, empowerment of women and girls, and public education.
During the 20 year history of the Loisaba Community Conservation Foundation, our board and volunteers have contributed extensively to the education and development of the greater Ewaso community.
Highlights of our efforts include:
- Support for Community Health Clinic – building a maternity wing, funding a nurse, providing emergency medications and supplies, installing solar power, maintenance and repairs
- Instituting a Community Health Workers Program
- Student Scholarships for Secondary & University Education
- Primary School Food Program – daily breakfast and lunch
- Improvements for Primary School Facilities – Creating a Computer Lab, building classrooms and Teacher & Student Housing, building a cafeteria where 300-400 children are fed daily, installing Solar Power, security fencing
- Programs for The Empowerment Of Women & Girls – educational and self-determination programs, skills training, enhancing employment opportunities
- Emergency Food Relief During Drought & Pandemic
- Animal Conservation Programs
- Well Building & Water Storage Tanks for the school, clinic and community
