Nashulai Maasai Conservancy lies adjacent to Maasai Mara National Reserve to the north. We lease 5,000 acres for conservation from 45 landowners. We encourage land use systems that protect wildlife, preserve culture and reverse poverty! Because all three elements; the people, the land, and the wildlife are linked. My work involves Community level engagements and mobilization to support Family, Gender and Education activities.

Its good to note that community empowerment is not possible without education. Although there are several schools in the Mara, many of these schools lack basic facilities and are plagued by a shortage of teachers, absenteeism from students and dropouts. Through Mara Learning and Development Centre i am in involved in facilitating community work in the area surrounding the conservancy, we have been involved in various initiatives to support these schools. These initiatives include; the provision of solar lamps, toilets, scholarships, community library, clean water, desks, and mobile computer training facilities.

I also promote and supervise Early Childhood Education by engaging a broad spectrum of community members of different ages, organizational affiliations, and community sectors (e.g parents, religious groups) who are affected by and essential to addressing the problem of FGM and advocating for girl education.

Am able to do this by Identifying local level partners, support and facilitate the partnership in the implementation of planned activities. To the point of when i am able to mobilize and facilitate the engagements of stakeholders during planning and development meetings, workshops and seminars.

The local Maasai communities surrounding the Mara ecosystem are faced with a myriad of problems. Scarce medical facilities, severe droughts, high unemployment, high illiteracy, lack of access to clean water, destruction of the natural environment, and harmful traditional practices like female genital mutilation and early marriages of girls.

Oldarpoi Mara Camp was started as an Initiative of - I See Maasai Development Initiative (ISMDI). Our mission is to empower the Maasai economically advocating for education and by leading a campaign to eradicate such practices as female genital mutilation (FGM), create opportunities for employment for Maasai Moran as tour guides and eradicate poverty .

My work involved ensuring smooth running of the camp, managing staff, guest management and in turn using the profits to find sustainable development projects in the community as solutions to the mentioned problems.

While working for GNLD as a Distribution Service Officer, a job i held for over 8 years. I started to figure out what inspired my interest and passion. In the journery to discover my purpose, I yearned to do something that had impact and tangible results. In July 2011, I left my successful corporate job on a mission to find my happy life of impact that I am now enjoying. All this came by taking one step at a time and exploring many different passions. I have never looked back since then
