OUR STORY

The Maasai have been herding cattle across the great plains of East Africa for generations. Cattle provided the Maasai with food, clothing, and school fees for their children. However, with frequent and prolonged droughts, which killed most of Maasai cattle, the Maasai way of life is on the brink of extinction.

Our gift shop serves as a window of opportunity for Maasai women. We are helping the women build a better future for themselves and their families. Make a purchase today and support our cause.

Be part of our change.
