| A MANYATTA, is a Maasai house |
The Maasai are a blessed people who still live by their native customs. Even in the city they hold onto their traditional
beliefs. They are known as honest and hard working people. I was fortunate enough to become friends with a Maasai
family who live in the slums of Kenya. This is my new family.

| My best friend in the Maasai community |
The Maasai live with no shoes, no electricity, no water, they live completely by the land. Eventhough they are
surrounded by modern facilities they maintain their tradition. A truly unique and special people.

Maasai are known for their honesty and hard work ethic

| The women build their own homes |
|
|
| These are the most amazing women in the world |
In the Maasai community the women do most of the work. They build the houses, they take care of the children and
they earn money. Unfortunately, due to Maasai culture, they are given very little freedom in spending their money.
We hope to assist these women to become independent so they can take care of their children as the world changes around them.
