Kopito Women Group
The Maasai Indigenous communities are highly dependent on natural resources, and their main livelihood, pastoralism, is threatened due to a prolonged drought season, which has caused an inability to sustain themselves entirely through livestock keeping. In addition, because of population pressure, there has been an increased subdivision of land, leaving no or less land to grow crops or rare livestock. With the oncoming rains, Kopito Women are using this emergency grant to take advantage of the season to revitalize the women’s livelihood and well-being.
To mitigate any further socio-economic vulnerabilities to women from this community through restocking milking goats to the women in Kopito Group so they can provide for the nutritional needs of their children, restocking young bulls for sale as an income-generating activity and training on Agroecology for both Kopito Women Group and a neighboring school.
