The ADEA Foundation is partnering with a Maasai group to Uplift Disadvantaged Maasai Youth in Rombo, Kenya

ADEA and its Kenyan team are dedicated to ensuring that as many Maasai youth as possible, who are being deprived of their traditional life opportunities in Rombo, Kenya, are trained in professional skills and gain the confidence they need to build a promising new future for themselves and the families they care for.

We do this through supporting school fees and providing vocational training and confidence building
