WALK FOR A CAUSE
Calling all adventurous souls looking for a meaningful travel experiences! Consider joining us as we take a camel trek through the Northern Mara ecosystem in support of Masai women and their newborns. This safari will raise funds to support the construction of a new women’s health and birth center to meet the community’s growing needs.
AMS Birth Center
Located in the TransMara West district of Kenya, the Africa Mission Services Women’s Health & Birth Center seeks to fill the gap in local healthcare by providing women a safe, clean place where they can deliver with a skilled birth attendant. In addition to assisting 50 to 60 women in child birth each month, the AMS Birth Center provides prenatal education, family planning services, ultrasound scans and emergency transfers.
Please be aware that this camel trek will include hiking approximately 20 to 25km per day. Accommodation is provided in a shared fly camp tent on full board basis. Transport to and from the Mara is not included in the costs.
