Education is a cornerstone for empowering individuals to positively impact their communities and society at large. POTH aims to establish a scholarship fund to ensure all children can attend school and support young adults in pursuing higher education. By reducing the financial burden on families, we enable the next generation to reach their full potential. Encouraging students to pursue degrees in fields like veterinary medicine and agriculture will equip them to preserve and enhance the Maasai way of life.

Environmental preservation
Environmental preservation is vital to the Maasai way of life, and POTH is addressing two key challenges in Tungamalenga: deforestation and plastic waste. Through afforestation efforts, including tree-planting initiatives, and the development of recycling programs to manage plastic waste and promote sustainability, we aim to protect the environment while fostering community awareness and action.
