Activities began with helping to secure land for a remote Maasai community in Kenya in order to build a school. This led to further projects including the build of the school and ongoing funding of education there. The growing relationship with the communities in Kenya has led to a number of projects being identified with which the charity helps, such as the school feeding and water programme.
