How You Can Help

Kitumusote is working its way to become a self sustaining organization with its volunteer program, general store and cultural safari tours.

Kitumusote's U.S. partner and financier is the Wandering Star Foundation, a 501 (c) (3) not- for -profit private foundation established by Angie Ruiz and Mark Terbeek. Part of Kitumusote's founding team, the Wandering Star Foundation is based in Los Angeles, California. U.S. residents wishing to donate to Kitumusote may do so through the Wandering Star Foundation to receive U.S. tax credit.

If you are interested in receiving Kitumusote's quarterly newsletter and/or would like to make a donation toward a specific project, please send us an email at: info@wanderingstarfoundation.org

For information on Maasai cultural safaris and all other requests, please send an inquiry to us on the contact portion of this website.

CURRENT NEEDS:

Kitumusote currently rents a rugged terrain vehicle each time they bring water, supplies, and/or volunteers to and from the Maasai village with a cost of $100 a day. A donation of a rugged terrain vehicle and/or fund to purchase one is appreciated. A rugged terrain vehicle purchase in Tanzania is US $3000.

If you make a donation specific to one of Kitumusote's on-going porjects you will receive updates on exactly how your money was used and quarterly newsletters to track the specific project's progress. You are also welcome and encouraged to visit field projects in Tanzania.
