Proposal
The Maasai communities are primarily nomadic, relying on livestock rearing as their
main source of livelihood. The communities have been historically marginalized and
have limited access to basic services, including healthcare, education, and
infrastructure. The lack of access to these basic services has contributed to a cycle of
poverty and underdevelopment.

Description
The proposed project involves the construction of a social hall that will serve as a community center in the
Maasai communities of Dakawa Morogoro, Kilosa Morogoro, Chalinze, Mlandizi, Engikaret, Longido,
Ketumbeine, Terat, and Olkesmet. The center will be designed to provide access to resources that are
currently limited in these communities.
The social hall will include a library, computer class, TV room, and VCT, all powered by solar energy. The
center will also have water access through rainwater harvesting or other sources. Additionally, the center
shall be connected to the world through satellite internet, providing access to information,
communication, and education.
The construction of the center will involve community participation and engagement. Local resources will
be used wherever possible to minimize the environmental impact and ensure sustainability. The project
will create job opportunities for community members, including construction, management, and
maintenance of the center.
The center will serve as a hub for community development, supporting education, healthcare, and
entrepreneurship. It will provide access to information, resources, and training opportunities that are
currently limited in these communities. The project aims to empower community members to become
self-sufficient and contribute to the development of their communities.

communities, promoting sustainable development and improving the livelihoods of community
members. The feasibility study will provide critical information on the viability of the project and help
inform decisions on its implementation.
