INTRODUCTION


Center for Maasai Development (CFMD) is a Developmental Organization working in Laikipia County in Kenya, East Africa. Our work involves bringing people together to share skills, build capabilities, and change the lives of the communities where we work.


CFMD was formed with an overall goal of strengthening the capacity of the Maasai community to identify and seize local opportunities to create complete social economic transformation in livelihood change to the Maasai community. We are based on an overall philosophy of upholding the human dignity, obedience to the rule of law, integrity and equity in channeling the local resources for community empowerment.


We mobilize the community in appreciating acceptable behavior change geared towards eliminating bad cultural practices to give room for girl child education, women empowerment, eliminating forced marriages, wiping out female genital cut and suppressing male dominance in social economic setups to advocate for equality and adopt participative approaches to society transformation.


Our main aim is to empower the most oppressed community members i.e. the girl child, women and HIV/AIDS patients to be productive community participants in development initiatives while enhancing community network linkages in a bid to incorporate a new appropriate technologies in development.


We believe we are an (instrument in facilitating the transformation of the socio-economic and spiritual life of the Maasai.)


 

We save lives through education. Because our efforts to rescue at risk girls from early marriages and female genital mutilation hope is brought to a new generation. This new quality of life results in liberation from bondage of hopelessness.

 

We are also committed to environmental awareness and have different conservation projects that we over see.

 

"For nothing is fixed, forever and forever and forever, it is not fixed; the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing, the sea does not cease to grind down rock. Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have. The sea rises, the light fails, everything clings to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out."


“In spite of illness, in spite even of the arch-enemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways because we all know that beyond this dimension what we are about is the evolution of planets ... even if, in this dimension, that means being in the right place at the right time to say the right thing to the right person just ONCE!” we seek change, development and growth for this great community of Laikipia county. Our programs are tailor made to suit everyone of all ages to come and assist in making an impact positively to this Kenyan culture.
