HALE of a Trip-Drought-Stricken Community

The Maasai community of Mswakini has been a victim of drought conditions for years, but this year seems to be particularly bad. There were countless cattle carcases as we traveled the roads to reach this parched community. Water is a huge problem here and the various remedies sought have not been successful to date.

Arriving at the school, the children came running and enjoyed having their photo taken and seeing the view captured. The building in the background is the original school and is still being used as classrooms for pre-school.

Several Omega teams over the past 3 years have completely built these 2 classrooms at the school at Mswakini. There are over 400 students with only 6 teachers and 6 classrooms.
