IN FACT, IN 2021 WE HELPED SPONSOR THE TEAM THAT TRAVELLED A 100 MILE STRETCH ACROSS THE MARA, SAND RIVER, SACRED FOREST AND DOWN INTO THE RIFT VALLEY, AND BROKE THE WORLD RECORD FOR THE MOST NUMBER OF DISTINCT MAMMAL SPECIES SEEN IN 24 HOURS ANYWHERE ON EARTH. PROVING HOW BIODIVERSE THIS AREA REALLY IS, AND JUST HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO PRESERVE IT. SEVERAL ELEPHANT MOVEMENT ROUTES THROUGH THIS AREA HAVE BEEN RECORDED USING GEOGRAPHIC AND ELEPHANT GPS COLLAR DATA COLLECTED BY THE MARA ELEPHANT PROJECT, AND THIS AREA IS PART OF WHAT KEEPS THE SERENGETI, MARA, GREAT RIFT VALLEY AND AMBOSELI ECOSYSTEMS CONNECTED. KEEPING THESE ECOSYSTEMS CONNECTED IS CRITICAL BECAUSE IT ALLOWS WILDLIFE AND COMMUNITIES TO ACCESS DIFFERENT RESOURCES AND MAINTAIN ECOSYSTEM HEALTH AND RESILIENCE TO CHANGES IN CLIMATE. THE AREA HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN COMMUNALLY OWNED RANGELANDS BELONGING TO SEMI-NOMADIC PASTORALIST MAASAI COMMUNITIES, BUT RECENT GOVERNMENT POLICY CHANGES MEAN THE LANDSCAPE IS BEING SUBDIVIDED AND SHARED OUT INTO SMALL INDIVIDUAL TITLES. PARTS OF THIS AREA HAVE ALREADY BEEN FENCED AND CONVERTED INTO UNPLANNED PATCHWORKS OF SMALL FARMS, WHICH RESTRICT CONNECTIVITY AND INCREASE HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT. AS PART OF A WIDER STRATEGY TO PROTECT THIS AREA FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL WHO SHARE IT WE ARE: 1.INVESTING IN LAND USE PLANNING AND MECHANISMS TO ENABLE COMMUNITIES' GOVERNANCE AND PROTECTION OF THEIR NATURAL RESOURCES. 2.HELPING TO CREATE SAFE ALTERNATIVE SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD OPTIONS THROUGH OUR SAND RIVER SOCCER LEAGUES PROJECT, BEEKEEPING PROJECTS AND ADULT EDUCATION PROJECT WHICH DON'T CONFLICT WITH WILDLIFE OR RESTRICT CONNECTIVITY. 3.INVESTING IN RESEARCH AND MONITORING THROUGH THE MARA ELEPHANT PROJECT. 4.CONTINUING TO SUPPORT ADVOCACY EFFORTS FOR THIS AREA. 34651 EDUCATION SPONSORSHIPS WE SPONSOR STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS OF FINISHING THEIR EDUCATION AND MANY OF THESE STUDENTS BECOME FORCES FOR POSITIVE CHANGE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES.

TOGETHER WE HAVE ALSO DONATED THINGS LIKE DESKS, SCHOOL BOOKS, STATIONARY, SANITARY TOWELS FOR GIRLS, MIRRORS, FOOD SUPPLIES, GUTTERS, AND A WATER COLLECTION TANK. ALSO, IN 2022, THE SCHOOL HAD A TOTAL OF 308 STUDENTS, BUT ONLY 3 TOILETS. SO WITH THE HELP OF OUR DONORS, WE BUILT THEM 4 MORE TOILETS.
