The Secret Is Out in Frankfurt: An Oliveseed Grows in Africa
Journalist John Hockenberry weaves a colorful tale...
In the Maasai Mara of southwestern Kenya, we strengthen families and communities through access to quality education, sustainable economic empowerment, and stewardship of the natural world. We've been developing Libraries, Science Labs, Learning Centers, and other resources for rural schools most in need here since 2017, and the first Library and Study Center inside a traditional Maasai manyatta. In 2023, we're launching a Women's Work Center, a Purified Water Facility to serve 20,000 people, and a Community Education Center with the first Public Library in the rural Mara. We are part of this community.
Meanwhile, our legacy English literacy program with teachers throughout rural Morocco, active since 2014, has evolved to the nationwide Morocco Library Project Short Story Competition for under-represented youth, especially in Amazigh lands.
