Bush Global Village Foundation – Enabling poverty sticken communities by providing infastructure, food, and education.

This is the very first time these African Girls and Boys have seen an elephant.

WHY? Because the daily struggle of poverty for these tribal Maasai children keeps them from experiencing and learning about their natural surroundings. Through the newly established pre-school education provided by Bush Global Village Foundation, they are on a field trip less than 5 miles from their remote village for the first time in their lives. Previously their daily routine consisted of herding cattle and goats on diminishing range-lands, avoiding human/animal conflict, hauling water to their homes, and being subject to disease with little viable access to modern medicine.

The vision of Bush Global Village Foundation is for these boys and girls to have the opportunity of an education. We are empowering them to learn new ways to sustain themselves and their community. This field trip is just one of many examples of how an education can gently create a connection to their environment and promote a sense of pride of where they live in the world. It is our hope that they will make informed choices that allow them to thrive and become custodians of their unique environment.

EDUCATION

... imagine finally being allowed to enter elementary school and not being able to understand the lessons because the teachers speak in another language.

This is a video of Mokilal Pre-Primary School whose Maasai children speak the native language of Maa. They are learning new language skills - Swaili and English. In order to go to Primary /Elementary School they need to learn the Tanzanian national languages in order to understand their teachers. Bush Global Village Foundation has made this possible.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Basics needs such as water and sanitation were not easily accessible. Founders of Bush Global Village and support from individual donors such as the C Peters family have put in toilets and a water station.

HEALTH & WELLNESS

Poverty stricken villages have a limited ability to properly nourish the inhabitants. Access to modern healthcare is also a challenge. Bush Global Village Foundation has improved access to hospitals and is currently campaigning to provide nourishment to the students and we need your help.

COMMUNITY

Elders of the community are now agreeing to navigate through the process of educating both the girls and boys of the community. A community center is a platform for adult education and a modern medical facility.

OPPORTUNINTIES FOR EDUCATION

MOKILAL PRE-PRIMARY SCHOOL

Maasai Students speak Maa - yet Tanzania dictates that formal education be in Swahili and English in order to help unify the country. By teaching village boys and girls language skills needed at the local level, parents are more willing to consider access to an education.

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Although Tanzanian primary schools are free, parents must provide uniforms and bulk food staples. Due to the poverty in the village, some parents may view this as a barrier. We eliminate those barriers by providing these on behalf of our pre-school "graduates".

COMMUNITY & WELLNESS CENTER

During non-school hours, the Mokilal Pre-Primary School is used as a local meeting place for traditional elders meetings, a recreational ball field, and soon as an adult health and wellness learning center.

CORE VALUES & BELIEFS

The key to opportunity for young villagers in the African Bush is education. The Bush Global Village Foundation encourages sustainability by working with local teachers and grassroots leadership to remove barriers to education and help secure a future of opportunity for young learners.

The Bush Global Village Foundation is dedicated to bridging the opportunity gap through education in famished, remote communities worldwide. The focus is currently in the African Bush where impoverished villages exist with little means for securing opportunities for a sustainable future. Recently funded projects include: lumber to build benches for a Maasai School and a field trip for the learners into the Olduvai Gorge where they saw elephants, giraffes and other wildlife. We are currently developing lesson plans and school activities that encourage sustainability, sense of place, and cultural pride.
