An odd contest for a better future

A group of women follow a herd of cattle as they migrate to greener pasture.

To prevent cattle from dying, our people migrate bigger and healthier cattle to greener areas. The women in this shot are seen doing just that.

The drought, which is spanning across different parts of the country, is being felt most by us Maasai, and other pastoral communities, as we lean on the environment for our day to day livelihoods.

Often times, when people migrate with cattle through our village, they will sojourn through the night to depart the next day.
