CURRENT PROJECTS
Community transformation begins with a simple decision to partner with us in our mission to help the voiceless.
At Ormee Ministries, we exist to give the Maasai children a hopeful, vibrant future. Through education, proper health and nutrition, and the power of Christ, we’re devoted to transforming the community one voice at a time.
When you give to Ormee, girls can escape child marriage and receive an education, boys can pursue options beyond herding goats, and children can grow up in a community where their voices aren’t just heard — they’re valued.
GENERAL FUND
Donations of any amount to our general fund allow us to provide daily nutrition to our students, upgrade classrooms, and cover other operating costs. The general fund helps us provide an atmosphere for our students to dream, thrive, and create an abundant life.
GOATS
Having our own herd of goats on the school property allows us to have milk for lunch and nutritious morning porridge each day! In addition, excess milk allows us the opportunity to share with women living in the nearby villages. The current years long drought has killed 80% of the cattle in the area, so hearty goats are a valuable resource.
1 goat = $40
BOOKS
Can you imagine having a school without a library? Neither can we! We have completed construction on a small library and dream of filling the shelves with books. Our students’ first language is Maa, but the national exams are in Swahili and English, so our library will be stocked with books in those languages. Only $5 gets a new book on the shelf and into a student’s hands!
1 book = $5
TEACHERS
Ormee is blessed to have the most dedicated and amazing teachers! Your donations help us provide the wages and food they need to live and thrive in a very harsh environment.
ACRES
We are thankful to have 10 acres for our school campus, which is sufficient for our needs at this time. There are four additional acres adjacent to our property that we would love to have for future growth. In the meantime, we will use the acreage to plant gardens for extra food for our students’ families and share it with the community!
1 acre = $1300

DORMITORY – Fully Funded!
Thank you for your generosity! Our most expensive project is the building of a dorm. Although our dorm will be a very basic structure, it will be comfortable and secure, with indoor plumbing. It will house 50 – 60 female students. Ormee School needs a dorm for many reasons, but the top reason is the girls’ safety. Many walk long distances to and from school, and many dangers are associated with those long walks. Also, the ability to house them on school property will help the girls prepare for important exams. Living in the dorm gives them opportunities for tutoring and extra studying and elevates their overall health and hygiene.
1 dorm = $15,000
WATER – Fully Funded!
We are so thankful that our pump and water supply are fully funded. Water is essential, and we are thankful to the nonprofit Maji Hope for digging our well!
