Kitumusote

Projects

Kitumusote exists to ensure the sustainability of the Maasai people’s way of life. We practice this by encouraging the conservation of indigenous resources, creating environmental awareness, and facilitating women’s empowerment and educational opportunities. Our ultimate vision is to create a globally heightened sense of awareness and respect for the Maasai.

"To educate a women is like educating a nation because the woman is the roots of the nation." 

The Maasai Women's Cooperative Society (MWCS) aims to facilitate women's empowerment and autonomy in Maasai communities. MWCS was created to build Maasai women's self esteem and self worth and to help them find their voice so they can contribute to village meetings on social, cultural, economic and political affairs.

We have started a community-based sustainable reforestation project that focuses specifically on culturally and economically valuable indigenous species.

Eventually, we hope to build a central Learning Boma in Eluai Village that will include meeting spaces, a library, nurseries, and a classroom for the entire community.
