Life in Maasai Land: A Story of Strength and Struggle
In the heart of the Maasai community, life is deeply connected to cattle. Most families are pastoralists—they depend on livestock for food, income, and survival. But this lifestyle is becoming harder every year.
There are no stable monthly jobs or regular income.
If a family needs food, school fees, or medical help, they must sell a cow.
Due to drought and low market prices, even this is becoming nearly impossible.
As a result, many families—especially mothers and children—face hunger and hardship.
A New Year with New Blessings
This year began with something special. Thanks to the kindness of Mila for Africa Foundation and her friend Alice, over 100 families in Oltukai Village received food and support.
“We had nothing to celebrate the new year with—but now we feel loved and seen.” — A Maasai mother in Oltukai
This generous act has brought hope, smiles, and strength to so many. It allowed families to celebrate with dignity, something many haven’t experienced in a long time.
Our Deepest Thanks
We want to say a big asante sana to Mila and Alice for being part of our community’s journey. Your support has touched many lives, and we are deeply grateful.
