Executive Summary

Grassroots Impact in Narok North

Leopard Claw Safaris is a Narok-based safari and hospitality company established and operated by Isaac Parsaloi Kasura. Beyond hosting guests in the Maasai Mara ecosystem, the company runs a dedicated Community Impact Program that channels goodwill from clients, friends, and donors into practical, high-impact projects in Narok North sub-county — an area where many households and schools still lack reliable access to clean water and adequate classroom or boarding facilities.

This program proposal sets out how Leopard Claw Safaris identifies, funds, and delivers three essential categories of community projects — clean water boreholes, educational infrastructure, and general livelihood programs — and mobilizes resources from its network of safari guests and partner donors.

Context & Urgent Need

Interlinked Challenges in Narok North

Narok North is a largely pastoralist, semi-arid to arid sub-county where the majority of households face three critical pressures that directly affect survival, education, and economic resilience.

CHALLENGE 01
Severe Water Stress
Households rely on seasonal rivers, unprotected water pans, and long-distance treks. During dry seasons, women and children spend hours daily fetching water — time lost to schooling, household care, and productive work.
CHALLENGE 02
Education Infrastructure Gaps
Schools suffer from overcrowded classrooms, lack of desks, and a severe shortage of boarding facilities. Girls walking long distances to school are particularly vulnerable to early marriage and dropping out.
CHALLENGE 03
Livelihood Pressures
Pastoral communities face limited access to markets, livestock veterinary services, and alternative income streams, making families highly vulnerable to severe drought cycles.
Strategic Goals

Program Objectives

To mobilize and responsibly deploy resources from Leopard Claw Safaris' guests, friends, and donors toward clean water access, improved educational infrastructure, and strengthened livelihoods in partnership with local leadership.

OBJECTIVE 1
Clean Water Boreholes
Drill, equip, and hand over community solar boreholes that provide reliable, year-round access to clean drinking water in water-stressed villages.
OBJECTIVE 2
School Infrastructure
Construct and rehabilitate classrooms, dormitories, and VIP sanitation facilities in partner schools to improve enrolment and retention.
OBJECTIVE 3
Livelihood & Resilience
Support small-scale income-generating craft cooperatives, livestock health outreach, and emergency drought relief to build household resilience.
OBJECTIVE 4 & 5
Accountability & Sustainability
Maintain a transparent reporting system for donors and build long-term management partnerships with Water User Committees and School Boards.
Action Framework

The Three Program Pillars

Every project undertaken by Leopard Claw Safaris falls into one of three core pillars designed for durable, visible community benefit.

PILLAR 01
Clean Water Boreholes
Water is the entry point for health, education, and productive work. Leopard Claw Safaris prioritizes solar-powered boreholes because they deliver high-visibility impact that communities can maintain.
  • Community & chief's baraza site identification
  • Technical hydrogeological survey confirmation
  • Licensed drilling, casing & test pumping
  • Solar-powered pump, storage tank & tap stand
  • Trained & registered Water User Committee
PILLAR 02
Educational Infrastructure
We work with primary and secondary schools in Narok North to close the most urgent infrastructure gaps keeping children out of class or pushing them to drop out.
  • New classrooms to reduce overcrowding
  • Girls' & boys' dormitories for long-distance pupils
  • Desks, learning materials & basic furniture
  • VIP latrine sanitation blocks with handwashing
  • Solar lighting in study areas and dormitories
PILLAR 03
General Livelihoods
Smaller, community-driven initiatives that complement water and education work to strengthen household economics and emergency resilience.
  • Women's & youth craft cooperatives (beadwork)
  • Linkages to safari guest buyer networks
  • Basic veterinary & livestock health outreach
  • Community health outreach days
  • Coordinated emergency drought relief
Methodology & Standards

6-Step Project Cycle

Leopard Claw Safaris follows a consistent 6-step project cycle for every initiative, regardless of pillar, to keep delivery accountable and donor funds well spent:

1
Community Request
Identified and prioritized through village elders, local chiefs, and school boards.
2
Site Assessment & BOQ
Technical hydrogeological survey for boreholes; Bill of Quantities (BOQ) from qualified contractors for building.
3
100% Budget Confirmation
Work starts ONLY once committed funds cover confirmed costs, avoiding half-finished works.
4
Local Implementation
Local labor and materials sourced where possible, supervised by Leopard Claw Safaris and technical partners.
5
Community Handover
Handover to registered Water User Committees or School Boards with trained maintenance leads.
6
Donor Reporting
Comprehensive reporting back to donors with photos, receipts, and completion documentation.
