ELAND is a registered (501c3) community-based organization with staff located in Seattle, Washington and in Maasai Land, Kenya.

With education a priority,

We find and organize financial support for primary and high school level students to help grow the new generation of Maasai leaders. Out of poverty, into proud men and women.

We build college funds for students to help them continue their journey, and the journey of all the Maasai, toward productive modern life in Kenya.  Out of the forgotten lands, into a place of equal standing and voice.

We create a positive, hopeful, and joyful awareness of the benefits of education to the Maasai people.  When understanding changes, people change.

ELAND's Founder and Director, Moses Kinayia
Moses was born in the Ngong Hills of the Great Rift Valley in Kenya. He has a Business Degree from Daystar University, Kenya, and is currently completing his Masters Degree in Public Administration at the Institute of Public Service, Seattle University.

Being the first to go to school in his family, (literally running away from home with a desire for education), Moses has a great interest in responsibility and accountability.  His dream lies in expanding the work of ELAND, reducing poverty and improving the economic future of his community, and networking with other non-governmental organizations in developing countries to ensure accountability and promote socio-economic growth. Read Moses' story to learn about his community and how he came to found ELAND.
