Our first project with Maya started back in 2015 when humble, passionate architects from FIT Community team from New York and Korea got together to reconstruct a primary school for the Mayan children! . FIT is the eco-friendly architecture group within Mtree that has also won a SEED Award for their work with Maasai tribe in Kenya. .

Each week we’ll be sharing different stories about Mtree and the Mayan community we have come to love! . Since 2016, Mtree Creative and Collaborative programs have been held in the Maya community in Kilifi County located in the west coastal area of Kenya. . Surrounded by green fields, blue waters and endless skies, the village is composed of 14 clans with about 1400 residents. Many of the villagers make a living by fishing at the Kilifi Creek and there is limited access to electricity, water, and general education. . #mtreeorg #arteducation #fashion #music #dance #architecture #buildingcommunity #together #💙 . 📸: 1.
