If You Could Walk With Us — A Human Story From the Children of Kimintet.

Miles of dust and danger can’t stop their dreams. Let’s give Maasai children a safe place to learn and grow.

Dear friend,

If you could walk with us one morning…just one morning…you would understand why we are asking for your help.

Before the sun rises, the air is cold, and the world is quiet. Our mothers gently wake us, brush dust off our shukas, and whisper a blessing. We step outside, barefoot or in worn shoes, and begin the long road to school.

Some of us walk hungry. Some walk tired from helping at home the night before. Some walk afraid of the early marriage or the heavy responsibilities that await them if school fails.

But we walk anyway… because inside our hearts, we believe we deserve a better life.

On the way, we laugh to hide the pain in our feet. We race each other to forget the worries waiting at home. We pretend the road is shorter than it is because hope is lighter than fear.

When we finally reach school, we enter our iron-sheet classroom. The metal walls shake when the wind blows. When the sun rises high, the room feels like fire. When it rains, the noise becomes so loud that we can’t hear our teacher. Dust settles on our books, our desks, and sometimes on our dreams.

And yet… we sit. We write. We listen. We try. Because dreams cannot grow in silence — they need effort, courage, and someone who believes.

But the truth is this, friend…We are fighting more than dust and distance.

Poverty hangs over our families like a heavy cloud. Girls fear being married too young. Boys are pulled away to herd cattle. Some children disappear from school because life becomes too hard at home. These are not just challenges — they are dream killers.

We don’t blame anyone. This is the life we were born into. But it is not the life we want to remain in.

We dream of classrooms with strong walls…desks that don’t shake…a place where the rain cannot interrupt learning…a place where our future feels possible…a place where we are safe from the pressures that push us out of school.

The Siria Hills Foundation wants to build four such classrooms for us.But they cannot do it without you.

Friend, your kindness could be the difference between a girl staying in school or being forced into early marriage. Your generosity could be the reason a boy becomes a teacher instead of giving up on education. Your gift could be the first brick in a future that none of us thought possible.

You may never meet us. You may never walk the dusty road with us. But your heart can walk beside us…And that alone can change everything.

With hope in our small hands and big dreams, the children of Kimintet
