Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Dear friends

We come to the end of 2012, a year that has seen Pillar for Maasai Development(PMD) work through women and chidlren projects in Rombo maasai villages. We have all the reasons to sincerely thank our freinds and supporters.

Its also a year that had challenges, and the gravest was destruction of classrooms by strong winds. we managed to put back the schoolrooms and have the much needed space for children education. We want to thank those who stood by our side this tough moments.

A total pf 147 children (girls and boys) did thier end year examinations that saw them promoted to the next level. The highest being from grade four to five (Grade 4 to Grade 5) in 2013. We are going to admitt 30 in preschool in 2013. The need is great but we take few students in order to ensure quality education, coupled with also lack of space to take more.

There are also four women groups that PMD continue to support and capacity build them. More recent was bringing of 11 women from the four groups to a function on tracoma prevention and control and Louis Leakey Hall at the Musuem of Kenya. This was done with our partner organization SEETO Kenya.



Provision of clean and accessible water was also another project done by PMD at Enduet Village in Rombo location.

In the next blog post in in two weeks I will post photos and 2013 plan and projects.

Again, thank you for your various support and prayers
