Charitable Projects

Marlise Karlin International is delighted to offer financial support to these worthy projects and we invite you to join in making a difference in many people's lives today in whatever way you can.

Maasai Health Education Project (Kenya - Africa)

Maasai Health Project: 'Action Jackson' (Jackson Ole Napjit) is a Maasai who grew up on the plains of the Mara in a rural area of Kenya in Africa.  He is a nurse practitioner at a Community Health Center in the village of Talek and is the first person to introduce and implement safe circumcision procedures to the Maasai tribe living in the surrounding villages. This kind-hearted individual has done the 'impossible' in turning around deeply entrenched cultural traditions that are unsafe as well as excruciatingly painful.

Jackson had many duties as the sole health practitioner offering any assistance possible to the local villagers who might not have the possibility of making it to a hospital, because of their financial means or because of the distance - and he wanted to do more to help his people.

When Jackson met Marlise he shared with her his intention to become the first Maasai balloon pilot so he could earn more money to continue funding all of his clinical healing work with the Maasai tribe.

Although his vision was truly life-giving in all respect, it had begun to feel like an impossible dream.  After experiencing a Stillness Session with Marlise, that awakening Energy of Grace offered him the hope to continue the important work he was doing. Inspired now by the belief that he would also find a way to become a balloon pilot, he gave him the assurance that he would never have to turn anyone away because of their financial situation.

Marlise told this very special individual that she would help him in any way she could and committed to donating 50% of the proceeds of the Imagine Stillness Session CD.  The musical artists who joined her in making this extraordinary excursion into Stillness, contributed their profits as well.

Two years after this synchronistic meeting of the heart, Action Jackson got on a plane and journeyed to America.The events that took place over the following months were truly magical and a declaration of what is possible when one is connected to that flow of life where dreams become reality.

If you would like to support Action Jackson and share in the transformation of a cultural shift – creating new traditions that support health and wellbeing for the Maasai - we invite you to DONATE. Find our more about this incredible story here.

Trees of Life Project (Mali - West Africa)

TREES OF LIFE:  The second project to receive a portion of the IMAGINE CD proceeds is called 'Trees of Life' and was founded by Mikaelu Djiguiba from the famous Dogon tribe, in Mali, West Africa. 

Mikaelu is another amazing individual who is making a difference in the lives of many tribal people in Mali, Africa.  As the guide for Marlise's Stillness tour through the Dogon country, he shared with her many of the challenges the people there are facing.  The desertification of the African continent is having grave consequences on the Malian population in terms of poverty and natural resources.

The Trees of Life Program seeks to plant 500 trees in the first year, planting 5 different types of trees that are beneficial to the environment and are a source of food, medicine and shelter for local people.

Both of these extraordinary individuals became inspired through their experiences of Stillness as they traveled with Marlise, on her Tour meeting with the elders and their local communities.

Action Jackson and Mikaelu make a difference in the world through who they are and the work they do.  Wherever Marlise travels, she looks for ways to support those who are bringing about a shift in the consciousness of their community and ultimately this planet.
