We have two schools in Kenya, both in remote locations in Masai territory. Our primary school is located in Ol Moti, near the Tanzanian border. Approaching 400 children attend this school. Our secondary school is in Lenkisem near Amboseli National Park.

This gives them a real chance of ultimately surviving in the real world, rather than resorting to poaching to survive. In turn, this assists to preserve Kenya&rsquo;s most lucrative asset, its wildlife &ndash; hence the adoption of the elephant as the logo.&nbsp; You will see the happiness and joy on the faces of the children who are fortunate to be at school receiving an education and hope for their future thanks to the efforts of Schools for Kenya. This is such a contrast to the expressions of longing and despair on the faces of the children who do not have this opportunity available to them.</p> </span></p>
