Welcome to the Center for Maasai Development
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.
