The Maasai Evangelistic Association Philosophy and Vision

The Maasai Evangelistic Association vision, aims and objectives derive from the Christian principle of love for others. This obliges us to provide for the total development and wellbeing of the poor and needy. Our commitments lie in the spiritual, mental, social and physical development of our main target Maasai group: the rural poor and the disadvantaged. We do this in a spirit of Christian love, discipline and motivation.
