Charity
Osiligi helps in the relief of poverty in the Maasai community of Kenya through child education sponsorship, clean water projects, and micro-finance. It is currently raising finance to build the first Maasai primary boarding school in Kenya. A boarding school will allow children from semi-nomadic families to attend school. Please help us in our task.

John Curtin's fundraising page
Hi, thanks for visiting my page.
I am walking 5 miles with the Maasai to raise money to build a school in their community. This school will be the first Maasai primary boarding school in Kenya and will allow children, who live too far from school, the chance to attend school for the first time. Many of the children will be orphans.
Those who know me will know that walking is something I try to avoid at all cost and not something I wish to do at my age, but those people will also know that the Maasai Warriors have been my passion for many years. This year, a UK charity has been started in their name. Already, the charity has sponsored 12 children to attend school, provided the first source of clean water in the community, provided a small loan to a micro-finance project and now it is building a school.
Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to Osiligi Charity Projects. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this. I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
