Why We Do It

Patinaai Osim aims to educate and empower children, women, and youth through our holistic education, reproductive health wellbeing, skills development, and youth engagement programs in the Kenyewa community of Kajiado County. We tackle gender inequality head-on to ensure all human rights are respected while empowering and growing the Maasai community. There is a HUGE need and demand for our programs to address the specific challenges children, women, and youth living in pastoral communities face. Our programs are education and empowerment focused.

The Maasai community being highly patriarchal, inequality and human rights violations are experienced mainly by children, women, and youth. We advocate for their rights to ensure no one is left behind and their rights are respected.
