“We are very impressed by the support you provide to the local community. We enjoyed our visit to the local school – a “must do” for every visitor to Sasaab.”



Our Sasaab community projects are based in the Ngutuk Ongiron Group Ranch (NOGR) with the Westgate Community Conservancy (WGCC) as its development arm. Conservation fees contribute to many projects that we have initiated.

  • The aim of the WGCC is to educate the local community in understanding the benefits of living harmoniously with the surrounding wildlife.

    The Sasaab Community and Education Project has been established to work with the WGCC to help improve the quality of lives of the members of the NOGR community.

    We hope to generate income for this project through the kind donation of funds from friends, guests and other visitors to Sasaab.

"Aiming to empower the local community by improving the education system"



Education within the Group Ranch is divided into Pre-school (3-6 years) and Primary school, with a total of eight pre-school and two primary schools.

  • Currently Sasaab is focused on providing Ngutuk Ongiron primary school with the classrooms required, a dining and kitchen facility and ultimately boarding facilities.

    School Building Projects in Solio

    We have identified two schools in the area with whom we will be associated in school building projects and support programs.

    We encourage guests to give back to the community through the ‘pack for a purpose’ organisation. The organisers have come up with a simpler way for travellers to provide supplies to local schools in the community. For further information

"Coming together to keep communities smiling"



Better nutrition has a direct link to higher concentration levels in school children and parents are much more likely to send their children to school if they know there will be a meal provided. $10.00 will feed one child a nutritious meal for every day of the school term.

  • Through donor funding, Sasaab has supported a school food program for 150 children since January 2008.

"Creating a community of self sufficiency"



Within the Samburu culture, education has become more available to young girls and women, and as a result, subtle changes are starting to occur and the Samburu women are coming together to form groups to improve their livelihoods.

"Developing projects to uplift the living standards of a community"

Sasaab is working with the WGCC and the community healthcare workers to plan and help implement necessary community health programs. We also currently support two local clinics and are trying to raise funds to provide more equipment.
