Safe Haven Hostel Project

Our Mission

•To raise funds to build a shelter for the Maasai children who have 30 kilometers of dangerous paths to walk each school day, on an empty stomach.

•The shelter will allow them to sleep over during the week instead of doing the daily trek.

•Funds raised will also be allocated to build a school kitchen which Light in Africa will manage to feed a further 200 students.
