Our Team Leaders

As indigenous residents of Maji moto who have experienced difficulties in accessing education, the NVS team wants the next generation to not have to experience such difficulties. The founder’s own difficulties in accessing education from elementary school to university inspired him to reduce challenges for the new generation of Nomadic Maasai children.
