100 Humanitarians International is a humanitarian organization founded in 2014 and based in Utah, working year-round with Maasai communities in Narok County, Kenya. Its programs cover food (Garden Towers), clean water (rainwater capture tanks), education, health (HopeKits), and economic opportunity (chicken businesses). It runs several 10-day small-group expeditions each year so travelers can take part in that work directly.
Narok County, Kenya — the communities surrounding the Maasai Mara, including Siayapei, Empopongi, the Emparnat Cultural Centre, and a partner children's home founded in 1979 that we have supported since 2023.
Food: Garden Towers that feed a family year-round. Water: 1,000-litre rainwater capture tanks. Education: school support and keeping girls in class. Health: HopeKits and hygiene programs. Economic opportunity: chicken businesses and women's income groups.
Founded and led by Heidi Totten with a permanent Kenyan team who design and run the projects between expeditions, plus volunteer expedition leaders including Scott and Becky Mackintosh, Abbey Junker, and Amy Roberds.
Each 10-day expedition brings 7–12 travelers to work alongside the Kenyan team, fund projects directly, and spend two days on safari in the Maasai Mara. Expeditions are non-denominational and non-political, and we do not proselytize.
Yes — 100 Humanitarians International is a US-based humanitarian nonprofit founded in 2014.
The expedition fee covers your travel costs on the ground and the project supplies used during your trip. Project donations are handled separately and fund ongoing work.
