Engarre is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping communities in the African bush. The main problems they face are the growing shortage of water and the rapid encroachment of the modern world on a way of life unchanged for centuries. Our base is in the small Tanzanian village of Mbogoi, deep in the bush. That is why we know the current problems of local people in detail and can provide help that actually works. We do things differently - with respect for local traditions and with a solid dose of reality from the dust of the Tanzanian wilderness. You can read about what we have already done, and what we are working on now, in the Projects section. If you are interested in life on the edge of civilization, you can find out more in our travelogue or on our blog.

We are a nonprofit organization turning our mission into real projects directly in Maasai communities in Tanzania. A project is born whenever we encounter a problem and see a realistic way to solve it with our own experience and ideas. Some projects are already completed, others are ongoing or in preparation - each of them takes time, work, and resources. Take a look at what we have achieved so far and what we are working on right now.

The travelogue The Maasai Have God in the Freezer takes you deep into the Tanzanian bush through humorous stories and plenty of photographs. You will learn how to brew tea the African way, how to turn an old tire into shoes, and how the Maasai really live far from the tourist trails. You can read the whole book free online.

The Maasai face a growing threat of drought while modern civilization rushes in, rapidly changing their culture and way of life. You can support them in many ways - a few words to your friends, a few clicks on social media, buying our book, or a direct financial donation. We work directly on site, so every euro is used effectively.

Here you will find things that did not fit into our travelogue or projects. All of them concern the everyday life of ordinary people in Tanzania and their daily worries. These are small stories and observations straight from the field - about how people in the bush shop, cook, travel, or celebrate. It is often these everyday details that tell you more about Maasai life than any big project.
