PMD 2012 and Project Plans 2013

Pillar for Maasai Development (PMD) has seen growth in its projects and programmes for the last four years.

we have seen Esukuta Boma School growing and today, they are at the 5th grade. A number of challenges were experienced, graver one in 2012 of school destruction by strong winds. We thank our friends and supporters who enable PMD to reconstruct the four school rooms at Esukuta. See the photos.




In 2007, we had only one women group that we supported, with our patner organization ADEA. In 2012, there are 5 women groups that we support them in capacity bulding and economic empowerment and environmental protection projects.



We have been able to provide filters for domestic use and schools in Rombo Division.



We have been able to provide piped water to on community project of Women group at Enduet and Enderkesi villages.







PROJECT PLANS FOR 2013
As we usher in 2013, a number of projects lay before PMD for women, children(education) and the youth in Rombo.

Esukuta Boma School still needs 5 classrooms urgently. This will cost about Ksh. 5 million (furniture inclusive). The school needs an office and teachers quarters as well (to house atleast 3 teachers).

Women groups need entrepreneurship training and simple business records keeping.

Various youth projects that include; peace building, enterprise development, environment/solid waste management and health(HIV/AIDS).


In 2014, PMD will seek for funds to build a community learning centre that will be a one-stop shop providing library services, information on livestock keeping, agriculture, nutrition, environmental protection and some business information. Youth will be tasked in running it. It is an ambitious project that will help turn aound the life of the community in Rombo and beyond. PMD is still consulting on this great idea. More information will be provided on a latter day.
