Making a Porridge

Lamayani, a Maasai woman teaches how to cook one of their essential dish, porridge. Here, she pours the porridge into calabash, a traditional storing vessel made out of a dried gourd.

The Wise Wall Project is an initiative of Project FUEL that aims to document, design, and strengthen the wisdom of rural communities and marginalized villages using art and community outreach programs. The arts lead the way to raise support for the challenges these villages face today like migration, quality education, and access to basic amenities like water and roads.

In the third edition of the Wise Wall Project, we are collaborating with the culturally rich and one of the oldest communitys in the world, the Maasai community, in Arusha, Tanzania, in partnership with Vikram Solar Ltd., Vijana Inspiring Foundation, Lions Club of Dar es Salaam and Arusha City, and Google Arts and Culture. Along with building an on-ground community center and museum for the community, we are bringing an exclusive insight into the life, lifestyle, and learnings of this inspiring community.
