1.To develop community education through establishing a field station/community center in Maasailand, which fosters a creative living space that bridges cultural difference and enables collaboration. 

2. Facilitate programs for surrounding Maasai communities which primarily focus on adult literacy, education, HIV/AIDS testing, land/voting rights, the creation of wells for clean water, field guide training, and human-wildlife conflict resolution.

3. Provide Prescott College students with a collaborative learning experience through cultural immersion with  Maasai communities. Jointly taught by Prescott College faculty and Maasai instructors, this course bridges knowledge from indigenous and industrially developed worlds together. 

Formerly known as the Kenya Project, the Maasai Community Partnership Project is made possible by the Maasai Environmental Resource Coalition (MERC) a community based organization working for the empowerment of Maasai people, and its close partnership with faculty and students of Prescott College. Among the many field studies programs and international service groups in East Africa, this program stands apart through its collaboration with Maasai people.

The program is steeped in a cross cultural learning community, through which American and Maasai come to know each other as friends and colleagues, rather than objects of study, to respond to the issue defined by the Maasai community.

This growing community opens doors to sharing information, resources and ideas generating the kind of hope that can only be born of collaboration.
