OUR STORY
Mokili Olesokoi pictured with Beth and Sean Bush first met whilst exploring Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa – March 2015. Beth and Sean had studied basic Swahili and this simple act started a conversation about the language challenges faced by school children in Tanzania. In order to unify Tanzania given all of the 120 plus mother tongues spoken, it is a mandate to teach school in the official Swahili language… and some English as that is the language of trade.
Maasai children speak the mother tongue of Maa and need to learn basic language skills to equip themselves for entering the school system. Mokili had been working to help this process and now he had the backing of the Bush’s to take this idea and grow it into a vision that is now being made possible.
