At the beginning of the school year, we buy school supplies for the children. Pens, pencils, exercise books, a map, a drawing set (with rulers etc.), erasers, a pencil sharpener and a pencil case. To take all of this to school, the children also need a sturdy backpack. When you purchase a school supplies package you can make sure one of our children has enough supplies to perform at their best at school.

Food package
The Nanginyi Foundation sponsors families who do not have enough food to eat every day. It is important for the Maasai to eat well, as they perform hard physical labour and need a lot of energy. The Nanginyi Foundation sponsors food packages with rice, beans, maize/corn, tea, sugar, cooking oil and, when available, some vegetables and fruit. Our local coordinator will put together the food packages depending on the current food prices and availability. He will then deliver them to families in need. When you buy a food package in our webshop you can make sure that a Maasai family in need will get support.
School uniform
All children who go to school in Tanzania have to wear a school uniform. For girls, the uniform consists of: a sweater, socks, a blouse and a skirt or a dress. For boys it consists of: a sweater, a blouse, a pair of pants and socks. Next to this, the children need a sports uniform, which consists of a t-shirt with shorts. The children only wear their uniform when they are at school, in order to make sure they can use their uniform as long as possible. The parents of the children have the task to wash and alter/repair the uniforms, as we think it is important they have responsibilities. Since the children wear their uniforms daily and are still growing, we believe they need a new uniform every year. With your purchase you can make sure that one of our children will have a nice school uniform for a year.
School fees
One of the main goals of the Nanginyi Foundation is to provide access to education for the children. Five days per week they go to the Sasa School, which lies at the edge of the savannah, where they live. They get their lessons in English. We pay the school fees for the children at the beginning of the school year. The school year in Tanzania starts in January and ends in December. The children get days off during all national and religious holidays, and get a month off in June. School fees are our largest expense every year, so every donation is welcome! Access to education gives the children a chance for a brighter future!
Shoes
All the children need two pairs of shoes to go to school: shoes for their school uniform and sport shoes. They will only wear the shoes when going to school, in order to make sure they last as long as possible. When one of the children has outgrown their shoes they will be passed on to one of the smaller children. With your purchase you can make sure that one of our children has proper shoes to go to school this year.

Schooluniform
In Tanzania dragen alle schoolkinderen een uniform als zij naar school gaan. Dit uniform bestaat voor de meisjes uit: een trui, een blouse en rok of een jurk en sokken. Voor een jongen bestaat het uit: een trui, een blouse, een broek en sokken. Naast een schooluniform voor de lessen, hebben alle kinderen ook een sportuniform: een t-shirt met een sportbroekje. De kinderen dragen het uniform alleen als zij op school zijn, zodat de uniformen zo lang mogelijk meegaan! De ouders van de kinderen zorgen voor het wassen en het eventueel herstellen van de uniformen van de kinderen, wij vinden het belangrijk dat zij deze verantwoordelijkheid hebben. Aangezien de kinderen het uniform dagelijks dragen en nog volop in de groei zijn, gaan wij ervan uit dat zij elk jaar een nieuw uniform nodig hebben. Met uw donatie zorgt u er dus voor dat een kind een jaar lang voorzien is van goede school- en sportkleding!
Local nursery school
In 2018 the Nanginyi Foundation started to establish a local nursery school in the boma. Nine girls and Nine boys between 4 and 6 years old from different boma's in the neighbourhood are coming to the boma of local coordinator Mathayo 5 days a week to follow education. In this way we want to introduce education to the local community and show that it is also important for girls. The children will be taught in different subjects and sports and creativity will be part of the curriculum too. In the morning they will be provided with a breakfast (tea with sugar and milk and bread or porridge) and there will be fruits during the day. To keep the local nursery school running we need money for materials, the breakfast and to pay a contribution for the teacher. Every donation is therefore welcome to support our local nursery!
Voedselpakket
Stichting Nanginyi sponsort gezinnen die niet elke dag te eten hebben. Aangezien de Maasai dagelijks veel lichamelijk werk verrichten is het belangrijk dat ze genoeg energie uit hun voeding halen. Stichting Nanginyi sponsort voedsel pakketten met daarin rijst, bonen, mais, thee, suiker, olie om te koken en eventueel groenten en fruit. Afhankelijk van de prijs en beschikbaarheid zal de lokale coördinator de spullen inkopen en zorgen dat het bij de gezinnen terecht komt die gesponsord worden door Stichting Nanginyi. Met uw aankoop zorgt u ervoor dat de gezinnen die het hardste voedsel nodig hebben een voedselpakket krijgen van Stichting Nanginyi en zo dus hun familie te eten kunnen geven.
Suiker
Suiker kopen we voor de school altijd in grote zakken van 50 kilo. Groot inkopen is namelijk voordeliger, want de kiloprijs van suiker schommelt regelmatig. Suiker wordt elke ochtend gebruikt voor in de thee of in de maïspap.
