Our project

We want to build a Pre-Primary and Primary school for the Maasai village of Mikocheni Kubwa, Tanzania. The school grounds have already been bought and prepared by Fredy and the NGO members.
Our certified local construction partner is ready to start the works for the classroom buildings, a kitchen and sanitary facilities. By donating today, you can help us create a better tomorrow!

Our organisation

The Friends of Esarunoto Organization was founded in May 2024 by Hroda & Fredy Mollel, with their community. “Esarunoto” means “from darkness into light” in Maasai – inspiring our vision to reduce local poverty and improve living standards.
Die Arbeit wird von unserer deutschen Partner-NGO “Freunde der Massai-Schule Esarunoto e.V.” unterstützt, die von Pascal Roß und Freunden gegründet wurde.

Our goals

We promote access to essential services like education, water, food, and advocate for health and gender equality. By supporting the development of entrepreneurial skills and sustainable practices, we aim to enhance the livelihoods of the community.
Your donation helps build resilience and preserve vital environmental and health resources.
