OUR STORY

The Maasai have been herding cattle across the great plains of East Africa for centuries. Cattle are the backbone of the Maasai economy and provided us with food, clothing, and school fees for children. However, with frequent and prolonged droughts the Maasai way of life is on the brink of extinction.

Maasai Gift Shop is a window of opportunity for Maasai women. We are enabling the women to build a better future for themselves and their families. Make a purchase today and support our cause.

Be part of our change.

GOAL

To empower Maasai women.

WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT US?

Maasai Gift Shop is a community-based initiative from beginning to end. We are driven by the commitment of women empowerment and community development. Every dollar from the sale of our products benefits the Maasai women and their children. More girls and boys are in school because of income from the sale of products sold at our gift shop. Please buy our items today and support our future. Your business is very important to us.
