Well Seen.

The day began in Talek with a simple invitation: come and have your eyes checked.

One by one, residents from Talek Town, Maasai Mara, Narok County, arrived for the first day of the eye screening camp. By the end of the day, 116 community members had received free eye screenings, thanks to a team of specialists from GoodVision Kenya, working alongside CHP Talek Health Center and support from .

For some, the screening revealed that a pair of glasses could make everyday life a little clearer. 86 pairs of glasses were dispensed, with many helping school-going children see more clearly, particularly when reading and learning.

The day was also an opportunity to talk about how people care for their eyes. In the village, some residents traditionally use herbs to treat eye problems. While these practices may be familiar, they can sometimes put precious eyesight at risk. The team provided eye drops where needed, along with guidance on safer eye care.

But perhaps the most important part of the day was simply getting people to recognise the value of having their eyes checked.

At 21, David Moonka from Rekero Village once thought computers were too complicated to learn.

When he missed our previous digital literacy training because the cohort was already full, he didn't give up. He waited for the next opportunity and made sure he wouldn't miss it.

Now, in his second week of training at the Maasai Mara Secondary in Aitong, David can type, print documents and use basic computer system tools with confidence.

“I never thought I could use a computer, but now I can.”

David is one of 25 young people taking part in this latest cohort; many of whom, like him, missed the opportunity to join our previous training. Together with the previous cohort, the programme has now empowered 126 young people with practical digital skills.

Inspiring the next generation of conservation champions.

We recently visited Naboisho Primary School, where our Trust Ambassador and Wildlife Club Patron Bernard Soit, together with Community Coordinator Clinton Karbolo, spent time with 45 Wildlife Club members discussing conservancy rules and responsible conservation.

These conservation and wildlife talks, led by our guides, help young learners understand their local ecosystems, human-wildlife coexistence and the importance of protecting wildlife. They also build conservation stewardship from a young age.

The visit also brought more support, as we delivered pre-loved camp beddings, along with a puff donated by Anita, our Camp Relief Manager, to the school library.

Growing conservation through education, community and support. 📖🦁

Every great journey starts with learning something new. 💻

In just a few days, the Maasai Mara Secondary School IT Lab will be buzzing with curious minds, plenty of questions, and the satisfying click of keyboards as another group of young people begins their digital literacy journey.

This year's Annual IT Youth Training has already reached full capacity, with 10 girls and 10 boys from communities around Aitong ready to spend two weeks building practical computer skills. From navigating operating systems to mastering Microsoft Office, they'll gain knowledge that can open doors to further education, employment, and new opportunities.

What makes us smile every year is the excitement surrounding this initiative. The demand keeps growing, and every full class is a reminder of just how eager young people are to learn and prepare for the future.

We're proud to continue creating these opportunities alongside our partners,
, whose support helps make this program possible.

Conservation doesn't stop at protecting wildlife. It involves protecting the health of the animals living alongside people.

Every year, the Mara North Conservancy Dog Project brings together veterinarians and conservationists to provide free vaccinations, health checks, parasite treatment, and disease monitoring for domestic dogs in neighbouring Maasai communities. By vaccinating against rabies, canine distemper, and parvovirus, the project helps prevent these deadly diseases from spreading to the Mara's wild carnivores.

We are proud to support this vital initiative by providing a vehicle each year to transport veterinary teams, equipment, and supplies across the conservancy, helping ensure the programme reaches as many communities as possible.

Healthy dogs help protect healthy wildlife. It's another reminder that lasting conservation depends on the wellbeing of people, livestock, domestic animals, and the ecosystems they all share.

Sometimes, the smallest gaps make the biggest difference.

Recently we delivered 300 new curriculum books to Olkimitare Comprehensive School in Maasai Mara. During the handover, James Nampaso, a school board member and guide at , shared that the books were the only thing the school was missing. He encouraged the students to study hard and make full use of the new resources, reminding them that education remains one of the most powerful tools for shaping their future.

The visit was about more than just delivering books. Together with the school's librarians, our Community Coordinator, Clinton, taught students how to properly cover and care for their new books, helping ensure they remain a valuable resource for years to come.

Thanks to the support of our guests, more books are now waiting to be opened, read, and discovered.

From Students to Professionals: A Dream Realised 🎓

We celebrate two remarkable young people whose determination, hard work, and passion have brought them to an important milestone.

With support from Kicheche Community Trust and the generosity of our guests, Susan Sitany and William Taika have successfully graduated with a Diploma in Food Production from the Wildlife Tourism College, Maasai Mara.

Their journey is a powerful reminder of what can happen when opportunity meets commitment. Through education, practical training, and mentorship, they have developed the skills and confidence to pursue careers in hospitality and tourism.

We are especially proud to share that William has already begun his professional journey with the kitchen team at Kicheche Mara North, putting his training into practice in the field. We are equally excited for Susan as she takes the next step, and we look forward to seeing her secure a placement where her talent and dedication can shine.

This is more than a graduation. it is the start of new opportunities, brighter futures, and lasting impact for their communities.

Congratulations, Susan and William.

A small hand presses a seedling into the soil. It may seem like a simple act today, but years from now, that tree will stand as a reminder that positive change often starts small.

Our tree planting with school-going children is about much more than growing trees. It is about nurturing a generation that understands the value of nature and their role in protecting it. Through these hands-on experiences, students learn that every action matters and that caring for the environment is a responsibility shared by all.

As we reflect on , we celebrate the young environmental stewards whose efforts today are helping create a greener, healthier future for generations to come.

Game on, impact on. ⚽✨

Just before the school holiday break, the team brought energy and purpose to Wathituga Secondary School’s Sports Day in Laikipia, celebrating talent on the field while creating space for meaningful conversations off it.

Together with , we engaged girls on menstrual health and distributed reusable sanitary kits, while also connecting with parents who continue to champion the work happening in their school.

Shoutout to the team, led by Captain Naftali, for showing up with heart and impact.
