MANDO ProjectsWe are working with MANDO (Matonyok Nomads Development Organization), located in Karen, Kenya, that works in the southern Rift Valley. MANDO is a young, rapidly growing nonprofit NGO addressing local challenges. Its nomadic, pastoral Maasai people face such a severe drought that they are forced to become more agriculturally based. This means reliable water sources must be close to evolving communities. MANDO is looking to help with this adjustment and help overcome root causes of poverty, introduce sustainable methods of subsistence, improve education and gender equality. Its highly effective approach is based on encouraging and enabling the people in planning and decision making. Its Board is comprised of community members who volunteer time and effort. MANDO maintains openness and accountability.

MANDO Project 1: Support for Girls Escaping FGM
Mando is building a SafeHouse for girls escaping FGM. Young orphans up to adolescents threatened by genital mutilation and early marriage will be housed in the SafeHouse. A housekeeper will look after 20 girls aged 5-15 at alternative living quarters named Silan (Maasai for "girl"). It will be their home 24/7 apart from the time at Kimelok primary school or Ewuaso high school. They can live there while being able to finish high school. Donations support hosting the girl in the safe house as well as pays for her high school fees so that she may attend school.
