A mother’s love is one of the most powerful forces on the planet. Sadly in Kenya it’s often trumped by poverty – grinding hardship, so extreme and so crippling, that single mothers are forced onto the streets with their children. One Horizon works to step in before this happens. We understand the Kenyan circumstances that leave these women with no resources and little hope. More can be done to help

One thing that hasn’t changed though is the general consensus that rather than incarcerating children into institutions of care (orphanages), it is mostly preferable for children to be maintained within the family or extended family unit. This usually requires additional family support of some kind.

One Horizon is very proud of its ability to be able to provide employment for local community projects. One of the main projects is fencing. The purpose of these fencing projects is to secure property from intruders but at the same time not to hinder the movement of wild animals. Recently and in the area where we do a lot of work, the problem has been hyenas and leopards that raid the Masai’s herds. It’s a great project

The global tourism industry is a mega trillion dollar activity with tour operators focused on profits and commissions. On the one hand it appears they are active social citizens who see themselves as change agents. On the other hand, they may be ignoring the sheer bread and butter issues of óvertourism’. At this stage, is doesn’t appear that the global tourist industry knows how to respond.

We’ve adopted […]

Our work with grandmas has been some of the most rewarding work that One Horizon and its army of committed travelers have ever been involved in. Of course its never easy and you have to stay the course, but it delivers in spades. The aged in many communities are often isolated, lonely and depressed and Kenya is typical of many other countries in this regard.

Whether its grandma sitting on her 3 seat lounge as she takes it home on a motorbike, or the acrobatic antics of a bus conductor, transport in Nairobi can be a life threatening scenario. A point of view that using local transport providers supports the local economy is a valid one. And in these days of ‘responsible tourism’ it makes good sense. But travelers in Nairobi may be wise to revisit decisions about how they get around.

Sadly, we said farewell to Eddie the Boar this week, the notorious and aging Lothario at one of our communities where we’re helping Kenyan grandmas start pig farms.

Eddy’s moved onto a neighbouring green field of retirement but you can still visit him – and his replacement Barry – on our Go Granny Go one-day tour as well as some of our longer Connect With Kenya safaris.

One Horizon’s five day people safari, It’s All Possible, is a close up and unique look at the diversity of Kenya and the different communities that make up this magical country. At the heart of all this are the Kenyan people – innovative, inspiring and resilient. It’s All Possible is an amazing mix of connections as we visit grandmas and single mothers, who are setting themselves up as entrepreneurs so they can lead their families out of poverty, traditional Masai villagers and families.

How does a young Masai man straddle two worlds successfully? Risa is the son of a Masai Elder at the traditional Masai village that we visit on some of our people safaris. He lives in the world of ancient traditions that the Masai hold dear, but also he’s increasingly exposed to the developing world that Kenya embraces. Like many young Masai men with this ‘dual citizenship’, Risa is already navigating the inevitable challenges in amazing ways and exemplifies credentials that make him a great ambassador for both his tribe and his nation.

One Horizon is such a great organisation that helps poor communities establish sustainable futures in Kenya. Our guide, Carol took us to a village of the Kikuyu tribe on the outskirts of Nairobi to get a first hand look at their way if life. We sat with them, cooked and ate with them. They told us stories (translated from Swahili by our guide), they braided my hair, they hugged us and wouldn’t let go. It was a heart warming day.

Building new classrooms changes the lives of disadvantaged Kenyan children who come into One Horizon’s orbit. In many of our communities, parents either struggle to send their children to school or, in their despair, just give up. An education can be way down on the priority list, not because parents don’t value it, but simply because obtaining enough food takes every bit of money, effort and energy they have.
