The main problem that we are facing in our disctric is the drought. Every year is raning more and is affecting the way to rise our cattle, our health and the enviroment.
Our NGO has done partnership with two companies to start to bring knowledge and opportunities. Loreto from Iberoamerican&African Solutions and Fran from Maasai Conservation Technologies and our internal team have started tranings and helping us to organize ourselves to use our own resouser to create solutions.
This project involves bring knowledge, uses Tanzanian technologies and motivates and teaches us to learn how to deal with our challenges.
Our principal activity is raise the cattle and have a lot of manure that we don't use. We are starting to use it to recover the soil and also to do vegetable gardens to get our own food and save money.
Fashion project
Because of the drought men started to stay longer out of the village with the cattle, but even being out the results were not good, no food no money, so that made women start to work.
They started to make charcoal from the green trees. This is affecting and making worst the problem we have.
With the NGO we have taken a decision to use our skills and the knowledge we have, so we will improve our craft production and we will start a new project to mix fashion designs with the fabric that the Maasai women wear, which is more colourfull and wearable in other countries.
