MANDO Projects
|
We 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.
