ERAMATARE
"We take responsibility"
Welcome
"Eramatare" comes from Maa, the language of the Maasai people, and means:
"We take responsibility!"
Together with Kaira Manangwa, a young Maasai man from northern Tanzania, we have committed ourselves to improving education in his community. The aim is to create new perspectives while preserving culture, to strengthen women's rights and to put an end to female genital mutilation.
Our current project is the creation of an English primary school. We need you to help us fund its construction and to buy the necessary land! Both standing orders and individual donations are welcome. Every Euro helps!
Many Thanks!

"When the vision of one becomes the vision of the other, the potential doubles"
Sigrid Sadjak
Vision
On my 47th birthday, grateful and full of joy about the fullness of my life, I decided to support Kaira's project within his Maasai community in northern Tanzania.
Preserving culture as it transitions to modernity and questioning traditions: these are THE challenges that Kaira and his community face. Kaira believes only through EDUCATION for all children and the EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN can female genital mutilation be abolished and family size in future reduced in this patriarchal community.
When the vision of one becomes the vision of another, the potential doubles.
May Kaira's vision become a reality! May his enthusiasm be a beacon!
Let's make the world a better place!
