A Recap of 2019...

Project Kilimanjaro’s immediate action was chosen in order to spark an initial driving force for the betterment of the children’s health care in eastern Africa where outreach has yet to make its mark.

January 2019

Project Kilimanjaro has been working with students at the University of California, San Diego to help bring first-aid kits to the Maasai villages in Tanzania. They have been fundraising enthusiastically throughout the campus and San Diego through pop-up thrift shops, snow cone sales, and donation-based yoga-by-the-beach.

August 2019

Volunteers from the University of California, San Diego - Athena Doshi, Alexis La, Talia Elliott, Stephanie Fang, Neel Gadhoke, and Rohan Patel - are working with Maasai villages on the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro. We have acquired first-aid supplies and sanitary napkins from local, East African distributers and created HIV/AIDS seminar schedules, pamphlets, etc. We are excited to learn about the culture of the Maasai people and work with them to reduce the prevalence of HIV/AIDS, alongside increasing sanitary conditions by providing a clean water pipeline to the villages. We will be encouraging conversation about HIV/AIDS prevention not only in the Maasai villages, but in local schools in Arusha as well. We will also be donating clothing so generously provided by the San Diego community to local orphanages in Arusha, as well as to the pediatric department in Meru District Hospital, a government hospital located in Tengeru. You can follow our journey on instagram @projectkiliforkids , where we will be posting live feeds!

December 2019

We are currently undertaking research of successful healthcare systems in limited resource locations. We hope to establish our own model of healthcare that caters to the Maasai of the Longido District and improving the community’s access to healthcare.
