One of the first Christians pastors among the Maasai people of Tanzania, Rev. Yohanna
Ngekee died in 2007 just as the fruit of his labors was becoming evident. Workers Together With Him is raising
money to build a Maasai Worship and Historical Center in Matebete Village, near Chimala, Tanzania. This center
will be named in honor of Rev. Ngekee. It will be used by the Maasai as a place to teach their children about
their heritage, as well as a facility for nondenominational worship. Eventually there will be sleeping rooms
and a small dining hall for visitors to the village.
The following videos are about this center. First, an elder speaks on the need for it, and second,
we have a tour of the site.
Adam Kuleit Mwarabu, a Maasai leader in PAICODEO (Parakuiyo Pastoralists Indigenous Community Development
Organization) speaks on the importance of the Maasai Historical Center being built in Madungulu (Matebete)
village.
Rev. Paulo Kurupashi takes us on a tour of the site for the Yohanna Ngekee Maasai
