With the water project, friends from the Netherlands have been working for three years to find a solution for the water problems. This has been largely done Experts from SamSam Water concluded that a dam would be the best solution to easily catch rainwater. Local people will construct it in collaboration with experts.

Masterpeace organizes walks through Maasailand to encourage a cross-fertilization of cultures and provide an opportunity for people to connect with nature, culture, and communities. The walks started in 2014 in collaboration with MasterPeace. The 5th walk edition will take place in May 2019. MasterPeace will organize about 30 people from Holland to join about 30 young Maasai warriors and women to walk, learn, share, connect, imagine and exchange ideas on personal, cultural and environmental issues and suggest sustainable mitigation strategies to protect nature.
