Isoma Children

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WE'RE TRYING TO SOLVE? There are 486 families from the Maasai Tribe living in the Orkisima Village. Less than 27% of the children of the village that should be going to school currently attend primary and secondary and less than 1% of the community have attended University studies. The children of the village are forced to walk over 15 kilometres to the nearest school every weekday only to get the lowest quality of education. Less than 25% of the community members of the Orkisima village have literacy in Swahili, the official language of the country, and less than 3% literacy in the English language. Their mother tongue,(Maa) is only spoken but not taught to read or write in any of the nearest school’s programmes. The natural, socio-economic and cultural challenges of the village limit the children from reaching their dreams or even to dream at all. MISSION: ISOMA Children’s mission is to give the Maasai children of the Orkisima village in Tanzania access to free quality education. We aim to develop a school programme that integrates disciplinary and environmental studies, physical and artistic education that will enable the sustainable development of the community. VISSION: Access to equal opportunities, overcoming educational barriers, preserving Maasai traditions and culture for an integrated society. OUR FOCUS AREAS: Education | Healthcare | Environment & Wildlife conservation | Arts | Sports
