Most Dangerous Ways To School | KENYA | Free Documentary

Ойын-сауық

For centuries now, the Dorn Savanna has been the lifeline for the Massai people. Until today, they refuse to get involved in the constant upheavals in Kenya and instead continue to cultivate their traditions. The Massai have lived in the border region between Tanzania and Kenya for hundreds of years; almost completely removed from all civilization. In some ways their remoteness has spared them from many ordeals. But on the other hand, this autarkical life can be problematic, especially when it comes to the education of their children.
This is also the case in the Massai village Kasiole. 12 families live in the village. Each hut has two rooms and in each one there lives a family with at least 5 children. Here, there is no space for a school, and needless to say, there are also no teachers. Therefore the children from Kasiole must walk for hours each morning to get to school. Most of the children stay at home and tend the cattle. Many parents are afraid to send their children off on the 10 kilometers long way to school right trough the savanna.
4am. Before going off to school the nightwatch is the task at hand. 8 year old Moseka guards the family's cows and goats. Sometime wild animals sneak into the village at night - a threat to everyone.
When dawn sets in at around 6, the Maasai village Kasiole comes to life. Moseka's nightwatch ends - and his way to school begins.
Students like Moseka from all across the region are setting off this morning on their way to the only school far and wide. Moseka`´s mother worries. In the last few days elefants often visited the area - the Massai consider them to be one of the most dangerous species in wilderness. His mother warns him once again about the possible dangers along the way.
The first kilometres take the children through the burning hot savanna, and this without any water. The family does not have the means to afford a drinking bottle. Their route takes them pass amazing landscapes, and also different Massai villages, some of them already deserted and some just newly built. Through their way of life, it makes no sense for the Massai to build large houses. They will only live 2 to 3 years in them and are built traditionally with walls made from cow manure and straw covered roofs. Only a few children join them from the other villiages, although in Kenya schooling is mandatory, but not enforced by anyone.
The way to school lead Moseka and his friend through the leopards valley - infamous for roaming predators. The Kenyan savanna is a huge open air zoo with an incredible diversity of species. Seen from the perspective of parents who send their children to school every day, it is an unfenced zoo, though. An open space whre the natural law of eat or be eaten is part of every day life. It takes a bit of courage to go to school here.
The students destination: The Ntuka Primary School. The only school within a radius of about 20 kilometers. Often they are too late, but the teacher understands, he is aware of the long school route.

    ATTENTION to all friends, subscribers and generally awesome followers of our channels: Fans of the MOST DANGEROUS WAYS TO SCHOOL Series have been asking for a long time how they can donate to help these kids - directly. Well, now, finally, we've found a way: With the assistance of some awesome people who specialize in bringing aid directly to the Nepal area, we’ve set up a GoFundMe for the school kids in Nepal. Obviously, the kids in the documentary are already grown up and making their way in the world but there are thousands following in their footsteps - all with dreams of making a better life for themselves and their families. Now we are able to help them directly. We can't do it without you. Now go help these kids peeps with your donations HERE---> www.gofundme.com/f/help-free-documentary-to-help

    I'm Kenyan but from a less dangerous region..I began walking to school at the age of three and a half (about 10km). Sometimes I walked crying and hungry. To cut long story short, I graduated from University with a law degree last year and now there is hope for a brighter future. All thanks to my parents who slept hungry at times to fund my education. *There is hope for this children, May the Almighty God see them through.

    I’m South Sudanese. I was born in Kenya and went to kindergarten and first grade in Nairobi, Kenya, due to Sudan’s civil war. I remember wearing green uniforms, getting beatings from teachers and singing the national anthem in English and Swahili back in the early 90’s. It’s one of my favorite anthems. I was sad when we moved to the U.S. We lived close to the capital city but this brings back happy memories for me. God bless you Kenya, for allowing us to go to your schools as refugees.

    I was really touched by how the adults tap on the kids' heads as a sign of blessing and goodwill. Shows you the unity and how everyone in the community cares about the children. With that I just fell in love with the Maasai culture. Pure hearted people it seems. Well I'm a Kenyan but I never knew anything of this kind goes on in my country. I was lucky enough and privileged to come from a well off family, living in the city and going to school was just very easy, fun and secure. Simply dawns on me how one easily takes the everyday simple things in life for granted, totally unaware that the same simple things are a far fetched dream to someone else 😞😞

    this documentary is very true i am a maasai too from Narok county and life was hard back then our biggest threat were the elephants and the Pokot raiders the lions mostly attacked during the day when herding. My biggest joy of going to school was because i used to get time to play with my fiends from few hills away those days there was nothing like free lunch at school, though maziwa ya nyayo came in handy. I do pray to God that one day i will be able to give back to my society and the entire country through education( ensuring that every child in this country goes to school and also teachers to improve their learner to teacher interactions during lessons). One throwback i really enjoyed was that during herding we always had that one friendly cow that we suckled milk from me and my friends which resulted to a beating in the evening by my dad but that didn't hurt much because we still did it again and again.

I’ve watched it with my 9yr old daughter who just started going school on her own in uk and for some reason I’m in in awe how these parents can be so brave to send their little ones with no form of communication to know if they have reached school safely or not. They just have to wait until the day has ended to see if their child turns back up. Meanwhile I’ve equipped my daughter with a mobile phone. I track her and she walks with the school rush and school is 8mins around the corner. Honestly it really teaches me and my child a lot of gratitude for what we have and don’t have. And also teaches me my 9yr old don’t need a phone.

    A Kenyan here. I remember walking to school early in the morning when it was still pitch black. I was 8 years old at the time and my worst fear was getting kidnapped or r***, because it was quite frequent in the area for young girls. I just used to pray all the time for God to keep me safe. In the video at 17:14 that primary mathematics 1 book brought back so many memories. I loved math and now I'm a teacher with my own business and I teach Math and English. I miss home and it's been more than 20 years since I left. I'm hoping one day I'll go and visit. ❤
