The Rationale behind the Rotary Involvement
Objectives:
The event aims to build partnerships between the Masai Mara Marathon Limited, the local community and the Rotary Club of Nairobi in fostering environmental conservation amongst Kenyan communities and global citizens at large. In line with Rotary focus, special emphasis is made in the areas of:
- Water and sanitation,
- Literacy,
- Health and
- Food Security
As such the marathon in the long run aims to support community projects around providing water to the community so that we can have water and eventually different water points for human beings and animals. At the moment they share the same water points.
It is hoped that the Masai Mara Marathon can become an annual event under the stewardship of the Rotary Club of Nairobi. The aim is to raise funds for such projects as mentioned above. in this context It is important to note that a simple borehole costs Kshs. 2.0m while a dormitory for girls costs Kshs. 1.2m.
