URGENT REQUEST FROM THE WHITE MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY >>
Our White Mountain Maasai community in Kenya is working hard on our long-term future in a healthy environment. We made a lot of progress, but historic droughts are causing urgent needs. Our cattle are dying and our people are on the brink of starvation. Immediate support can help us survive to achieve our long-term vision to restore landscape and livelihood in the Mount Kilimanjaro (White Mountain) region. Our White Mountain Maasai Community in Kenya currently consists of the villages Namelok, Olasiti, Ichurra, Oltiyani, Imarba, Embaringoi, Oltome, Kangere, Esiteti, Olpirikata and Tikoishi in Kajiado and the Mara Isinya community in Narok. Together we are about 1,000 households (5,000 people). (Select link immediately below to read the urgent request to help this community to survive.)
