■ TANZANIA, TANGANYIKA: The life of Masai women revolves around work. They build the houses, fetch water, cook food and tend to all other domestic chores. In this episode I was able to get a little insight into how they get their water, seeing as they have no well plus how they cook without having gas or even electricity and really nothing resembling what we would recognize as a kitchen what so ever.

■ SUMMARY OF PROJECT: The Boma you've now grown familiar with is living in the pre-industrial age. Without running water or even a well, and no electricity or even solar chargers, they lead a hand to mouth existence. As subsistence farmers, they survive on the crop they grow: maize.

This maize however requires a mill, which not only takes hours to reach by foot with donkeys in tow, but also cost a lot of money. If they had their own mill, not only would they save money on not using someone else's mill, but they would for the first time in the history of their existence, own an income producing asset other than the land they grow their crops on and the livestock they herd.

For this mill would mean that other nearby Masai tribes would have the option of bringing the maize they grow here as well, rather than spend hours trecking into the nearest town (something this Boma can then charge for).

The cost of acquiring the machinery is massive, but once procured, will transform the lives of everyone in this community in unimaginable ways. This is an incredible experiment I've chosen to back financially (with a substantial amount) and can't wait to see how unfolds in the years to come.

Emi is the most magnanimous and selfless person I've come across since Sunil of the Leo Srhestha Foundation in Nepal and is fully committed towards improving the fate of the people in this Masai Boma she has chosen integrate with.

If you wish to support her project and help give these incredible people you've come to know over the past seven days a massive income producing opportunity and hence better life, you can read more on the link above.
