Walking with Maasai

Walking with Maasai opened a clinic in Olorte in June 2006 to serve the Maasai communities in the area. The clinic was managed by Walking with Maasai and overseen by a local Maasai community committee. This clinic was a huge success and provided much needed medical care to this remote corner of Maasai land.

Currently Walking with Maasai is establishing a mobile clinic that will visit the most remote villages of the area of operation. Florence Simpano, a local nurse employed by Walking with Maasai is currently attending training courses on HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and counselling. The courses Florence is attending are vital towards delivering effective HIV/AIDS and general health education to the community.

Florence and Wesley Kipkoech, the clinic project leader are working together to collect valuable data on population density and health status of the Olorte community.
