The Maasai pastoralist clans living in Loita and Keekonyokie have some of Kenya’s highest poverty rates. This project seeks to improve the livelihoods of these communities through the development of sustainable livestock disease control strategies and marketing. The livestock donated for this project will include over 70,000 cattle, 200,000 sheep and 240,000 goats as well as donkeys for transport. Heifer International, with Heifer Netherlands, will provide technical assistance and funding.
