The Maasai keep cattle, goats, sheep & donkeys.

They have to look after them too!

They have to walk a long way to find grass for them to eat and water for them to drink. (See how dry and dusty it is in the summer!)

Donkeys are very important to the Maasai villagers. Can you think why? (Clue: there are no cars!)

Do you have water taps in your house? You probably never thought about them before - they’re just there. You probably never thought about them before - they’re just there.

Maasai people often have to wait five or six months for rain. Clouds like these make them VERY happy!

See how different the village looks after the rain (which might come once or twice a year!)

After the rain, the cattle grow fat and healthy and give lots of milk.

Where does your food come from? In England it’s easy to get a carton of milk, a tin of corn, and a tin of beans from the supermarket.

So the Maasai really have to be one big family. They call it ‘Enaboishu’ which means UNITY. They call it ‘Enaboishu’ which means UNITY.

Children are very special to the villagers and everyone loves them. Children are very special to the villagers and everyone loves them.

Older people are very special to the Maasai too. They tell stories and give wise advice.

Maasai and people from other countries are working together to build this school.

TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More! Maasai families work very hard to send their children to Noonkodin, but there are some who can’t find enough money. We can work as a team to make sure that nobody at Noonkodin ever has to leave school because they can’t afford it!

Some questions to think about How can we create ‘ENABOISHU’ or ‘UNITY’ in our families, villages and schools? How can we create ‘ENABOISHU’ or ‘UNITY’ in our families, villages and schools?
