isinya Maarifa Centre - LP, Toto and Tirente

Tirente was the leader of the group of Maasai women who came to welcome us to the centre. She said that for her community, books were essential as they brought knowledge and knowledge is power. She said that she and the other women with her wanted their children to be better educated than them so that they could have more prosperous futures. Their community is very reliant on livestock but the drought means that they often their animals die and they have no other livelihood.
