Teachers




MWCT currently pays the salaries of over 40 elementary school teachers working in fourteen different schools. By employing certified Maasai teachers who are members of Kuku Group Ranch, we are able to offer employment to local members of the community and sustain an educational atmosphere that embraces and supports maa culture.

Recently MWCT was able to construct an entire school, consisting of 8 classrooms and 2 teachers’ housing units. This school is equipped with a sufficient teaching staff, as well as educational supplies and a resource center. It is our hope to be able to contribute to each of the fourteen schools in this way to provide the best possible academic atmosphere for the students. There are now more than 600 pupils attending this school, and all have the needed classrooms and teachers.

The ideal school should have a classroom for each of the eight grades, plus one for the kindergarten/nursery. A classroom can be built for approximately $6,000. Basic hygiene conditions require that pit latrines are installed for the children and a bathroom for the teachers, in each of the schools. The improvement and growth of each school, and the provision of academic resources like text books, and eventually computers, are part of our long term plans for development in the education sector.
