Samburu Project

The Samburu Project (TSP) is a non-profit organization based in Santa Monica, California and founded in the Fall of 2005 [Fleming-Morgans S: "The Samburu Project: 25 Wells". "MTL Magazine", Apr 2006. p66.] by Kristen Kosinski, a former television executive at Paramount Pictures. [Yahoo! Health [http://health.yahoo.com/topic/work/inspirational-stories/article/capessa/62_kristenk] , January 2007. Accessed March 23, 2007.] TSP's mission is to collaborate with communities in developing countries to enhance the daily lives of men, women and children by addressing immediate needs and promoting long-term sustainability, self-sufficiency, and cultural integrity. [The Samburu Project web page [http://www.thesamburuproject.org] . Accessed March 23, 2007.]

The first project of TSP is to build twenty five wells in the Samburu District of Kenya. In the summer of 2006, TSP built four wells at a cost of $10,000 each that currently provide water to thousands of Samburu people.
