the mara rianda charitable trust
Hertfordshire
In March 2003 Richard Long travelled to the Maasai Mara for a short photographic
holiday. It was during this trip that he visited the school and learned about
its needs, since then he has returned at least twice a year to assist the
schools and local community. The Mara Rianda Charitable Trust is a company that
was incorporated in England on 5 February 2004. Its company number is 5035681.
It was registered as a charity with the UK Charity Commission on 23 February
2004. Its charity number is 1102255. It is governed by the UK Company and
charity legislation. The directors and trustees are: Colin Bird Nigel
Hollingsworth Richard Long Our community officer in the Mara is: Julius Karia
Julius has the important role of being the charity’s eyes and ears in the Mara.
Although he is a full time employee of Governors’ Camp they have generously
appointed him to be our local community officer and he regularly meets with the
schools, students and community and reports back to the Trustees. It would be
very difficult for us to operate without his hard work and dedication. A Trustee
visits the local community twice a year and establishes what the needs and
problems, if any, are. The Trustees meet on a regular basis and decide on the
work, funding and spending of the charity. All funds raised are used to support
the schools and local community. Please note that no funds are used to meet any
overheads or salaries in running the charity. The directors and trustees work
without any remuneration or salary.
