Our Impact To Date
The Maasai School Project
We are bringing lasting transformation to the Maasai, beginning with clean water for every school, which will eventually reach nearly everyone in the region, as we have done in other regions with great success.
In 2025, we completed Phase 1 of the Maasai School Project. Phase 1 focused on 79 schools in the Trans-Mara region of Kenya, representing nearly 79,000 people – the children, their teachers and family members.
Now we are embarking on Phase 2, with 97 schools identified. Join us in actively changing and saving thousands of lives, while bringing hope, joy, health and transformation to the Maasai people for generations to come!
Our Story
While working for the US Government in the 1990’s, our Founder, Matt Peterson was surprised to witness people drinking water from polluted green rivers, where they were also washing their clothes and watering their cattle. He later became aware that unsafe drinking water around the world was responsible for prematurely killing 3 million annually, most of them children. Matt felt compelled to also do something that would have a significant impact on the suffering. He asked God for a creative idea that would help hundreds of thousands of people, and this prayer led to an answer, that would address the waterborne disease crisis. Read on here.
