Maasai Land

Today was my first visit to the land of the Maasai in the Great Rift Valley. We drove along the valley floor over two hours on “roads,” passing many Maasai herders. Most of them were men, although many children and women (some with babies on their backs!) shepherded cattle and goats. CWS has partnered with a local community in Narok, Kenya to build and manage some boreholes and sub-surface dams. The group has also run a nationally-recognized literacy campaign and is beginning a micro-credit program. I was overly impressed with the steering committee, and there is much potential for growth.
