Maasai Development Project
Changing Lives in Kenya, One Child at a time.
MDP Beginnings
Maasai Development Project (MDP) has been making an impact throughout Maasailand since 1998. As friendships developed with nearby Maasai ladies, Bible studies and literacy classes began.
Due to the number of requests from interior areas of Maasailand for Maasai Lay Pastors and Literacy Teachers, MDP began the Lay Pastor and Literacy sponsorship programs. It didn’t take long before the call came to assist the vulnerable child escaping Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and forced early marriage.
MDP Education Centre
Educating girls is an effective way to reduce poverty, improve health, and economic well-being in the Maasai communities.
Your sponsorship will give Maasai rescued girls a safe place to live and learn.

Student Sponsorship

MDP Lay Pastor Sponsorships
MDP Lay Pastors are the very heartbeat through which all other activities find meaning. As Christ did in His ministry, MDP Lay Pastors are ever helping and teaching those who long for hope. They are often called upon to help in disputes and place rescued girls in a safe environment. Sometimes they are simply called upon to share their drinking water and food with somebody who is thirsty or hungry. Active evangelism is always their goal.
When you partner with MDP to sponsor a Maasai Lay Pastor, together we bring encouragement and opportunity for a pastor to reach unentered areas throughout Maasailand, to spread the word of God, to bring hope, now and for eternity.

“Missions is something very important to me”
“Though I thought I couldn’t really do anything, everyplace I went it was a progression of how God brought me out of my shell and brought me into the interest of service”
“No matter where I was God took me one step further. God wants us out of our comfort zones and he equips us…but if we just say yes to Him he will equip us with whatever that is.”
~ Jan Ashley (Latsha)
Through your sponsorships, God is continuing to do work throughout Maasailand, Changing Lives in Kenya, One Child at a Time.
