A UK charity working in the Maasai areas of Kenya and other areas of Kenya, helping families out of poverty through education, health and local clean water and by assisting people to become more economically active. Helping Kenya and Africa help itself is our main objective.
We are a team of volunteers with no salaries or costs thus 100% of monies we receive go to the projects in Kenya. Nothing is used for any UK expenses.
Osiligi – the Maasai word for ‘hope’ – is the Charity’s objective of providing hope to this community.

Why was the charity started?
The charity was started to help the Osiligi Maasai Warriors’ community in Southern Kenya. Most of the Charity’s projects are in the 100 square miles around the Warriors’ community, but some, such as the pump repair project are across Kenya. The Warriors tour the UK yearly performing their songs, tribal ceremonies and educating people about their community.
Projects for 2020
- Supporting the cost of an orphanage at the school for the many orphans and girls at risk.
- Repairing 200 of other charities’ broken water pumps. (Dec 2019, almost 1000 pumps repaired so far)

- Building six 1 acre agriculture ‘allotment’ plots with solar powered bore-hole .
- A toilet for clinic and school visitors.
