Clean Water, Education Infrastructure and Livelihoods for the Communities of Narok North, Kenya. A Fundraising & Program Framework for Friends, Partners, and Donors.
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.
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.
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.
Every project undertaken by Leopard Claw Safaris falls into one of three core pillars designed for durable, visible community benefit.
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:

Every borehole drilled, classroom built, and dormitory raised in Narok North is made possible by the generosity of Leopard Claw Safaris' guests, friends, and partners. We invite you to join this effort — whether through a single gift, project sponsorship, or ongoing partnership.
