The Olmaoi project (in Maa Olmaoi language it means “Close Friend”) aims to find Close Friends for school children in southern Kenya. Most of the children have at least one parent or live with relatives. Among the Maasai, it is practically impossible for children not to live with their relatives, even though they have no biological parents. Family ties are very strong and therefore even the lack of money is not the slightest obstacle to helping a relative. You are welcome to join the family :)
The Foundation subsidizes the children’s school fees. We are also motivating the parents to contribute to the financing of the school fees, if only by paying small amounts. Parents of the children included in the project are obliged to contribute at least KES 500 (about 18,5 PLN) a month, we contribute KES 1600 (about 60 PLN). The amount of tuition is used to pay for the teachers and staff employed by the project, to buy food, to buy necessary equipment and teaching aids, or to modernize classrooms.

We also pay for school meals for the children. A big problem is the droughts that cause many children to eat only at school. Every day, five days a week, the children receive two hot meals: oatmeal and lunch. Oatmeal is a blend of seven flours. Lunch is always a balanced meal. The composition of the meals is supervised by a Kenyan nutritionist from the hospital. When possible, we enrich the diet with meat and fruit. The food at the school costs about 800 KES (about 31 PLN) per month. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
Some of the children, due to their situation, need support in paying school fees and staying at the boarding school. In addition to the cost of tuition and board at school, there are costs of boarding houses, matrons who take care of students, extra food, fuel for water pumping, paying mothers who wash students’ clothes and bedding, and others. The cost of boarding and lodging for a student is 3,200 kes (about 120 PLN per month).
