 Orkonerei Maasai Video Project (OMVP)

OMVP is a business and social services unit of ORMAME which aims at documenting various elements of the Maasai community for learning through sharing as well as commercial video production for interested individuals and corporations. The significance of video in education is great due to portability of the information as well as preservation of information for future use. Within the Maasai community, video will be an important tool because it offers an opportunity to communicate the information in the local dialect which may not be easily achievable through the other means of communication available to the Maasai community. Inclusion of visual elements will enhance the communication of information especially in the community where the levels of literacy are still very low.

The initiative will commence with the recording of family portraits on the Maasai community. This will be a starting point in building the requisite skills for production of more commercially oriented video footage and documentation on key products for our clients. Once the capacity has been establish the unit is expected to venture into other areas to include; commercial music video production, documentaries and tourism filming.

                Orkonerei Maasai Community Library Project (OMCLP)

Generally, literacy is considered to be the ability to read, write, speak, and compute at a certain level. Functional literacy involves skills needed to cope at an adult level in everyday situations, such as reading a newspaper or completing a job application form. People who lack these abilities often are members of populations suffering from poverty, crime, and unemployment.

Within the OMCLP, ORMAME seeks to improve the ability to read with the Maasai community. The project will compliment the other Initiatives within ORMAME by helping develop a critical mass for demand for information as well as enhance the ability of the community especially the young generation in interacting with the outside world. Within this project ORMAME will establish community resources and facilitate reading classes in the resource centers as well as promote formation of reading clubs for school going children within the community.
