Empowering Maasai Women through Global Business 🇰🇪 vA 75

In this video, I join Elema to show you how the Maasai women manage to do international business through the organization bead works Kenya (www.beadworkskenya.com).
For that, we go to visit a remote Maasai village, and show you how the Maasai women make the beaded necklaces, how they live, and how happy they are to see their standard of living greatly improved thanks to this business.
If you want to support their business and help many remote tribal communities of Northern Kenya have a better life, integrate better into the modern world, here are the links that explain everything Elema's organization does, and their online shop:

This is interesting, I'm waiting for you at roysambu flyover 😂😂

[@Mwalimu-jm-mwathi]

Great job

[@MamboCalvin]

😂😂😂 yeah let's wait for him in kasarani and Babandogo...it will be fun

[@deepreef210]

Hello yves, this is a great video. If someone want to help promote their products in my country. How do I reach out to the person who introduced to beadworks kenya? Lepaura or sthg his name was.

[@KinoYves]

Contact me via Instagram, and I will give you Elema's email address

[@Themustardseed254]

Elema was my classmate in the School Of Economics at the University, wonderful work you guys are doing.

[@habt936]

I see why Tourists love our neighbour Kenya. Regarding tourism and innovation we have to learn much from you guys. Love ❤ from Eth

[@Mike-nc9wy]

Personally Ethiopia is my best African Nation. Much Love from Kenya

[@lputaa]

I love Ethiopia so much

[@saranalunga]

I love Uganda, matooke + binyebwa sauce.

[@kimunake7331]

Ethiopians attacked Eve for many times

[@mwanikinjeru3326]

Much as we want to integrate the Maasai into the modern world, part of me feels they should be left to live that authentic life. They are among the few communities in the world who still live a natural life and I don't think it is cool to take that away from them.

[@maasaimusicunlimited2811]

Much as we? Who's we?what do a Kikuyu like you have that maasai need? You forget that your tribe was under maasai domination for centuries 😅😅😅😅

[@mercyelias271]

​@@maasaimusicunlimited2811 Stop being naive and Ignorant. . Other tribes life can't be compared with Masai or nomadic communities life. Masai women suffer the most for instance early marriage , forced marriages, no education,FGM. The Maasai community and other community need empowerment especially women.

[@MsJamba09]

This is strange. What makes you think the Massais don't want to be part of the modern world? It's not difficult for a Kikuyu to go back to their traditional ways but would you be happy with that lifestyle? This would be credible coming from a Massai . Let everyone have a choice of how they want to live instead of someone else deciding for them with ulterior motives covered under good intentions.

[@irenedavo3768]

Do you watch Pesh Warrior

[@NamibianYoutubeChannel]

That's right 🙏🏽

[@Geez2020]

[@eunicemukui3078]

[@gemalumer1660]

Is veri biutful Yves

[@sahraahmedkoshin]

Just came across your channel and i have already watched at least 5 of your videos! Amazing. I live in Kenya too. Really love the positive energy you bring with you to these communities. This video particularly stands out for me because you are promoting these Kenyan women's businesses and products they make. Hopefully through your videos they will access an international market for their products and thereby also an income source for their livelihoods.

[@NamibianYoutubeChannel]

True 🙏🏽

[@xmateinc]

Took 4 days to get the key chain, was very surprised on how fast the shipping was. Was fully expecting to wait weeks for it. Plus the keychain is really cool.

[@kevakeno5400]

Thank you Yves for this video... helping Beadworks kenya to reach a wider audience...I sold you the warrior bangle...that bag is a best seller it's called a tote bag..

[@blacksignaturevisuals694]

Didn't expect this kind of content , nice one , consider you kind of an introvert , so its great seeing you going deep into the villages to interact with the locals

[@michaelripley4528]

Hope Maasai culture Will survive in this world! So important💚❤️

[@mlmontalvo]

Since I found this channel I just can’t stop binge watching video after video. So many beautiful places, beautiful people and cultural richness, contrasted by the hardships of economic struggles and poverty. I am addicted to this channel.

[@lonelion8098]

Am so glad you have started to experience magical Kenya this vlog was "parfait" the experience you have had blends in so well with your trip

[@georgemurimi9434]

Thanks Yves this video will be seen by millions across the globe. It will not only help promote tourism but also help market their bead products to the world. As a Kenyan, I say asanti sana

[@Mike-nc9wy]

I can see magical Kenya is getting to you dear Yves, you'll love it here. You are doing a fantastic job and may God always keep you safe on your journeys Bro!!

[@zealmo]

The strong, hard-working Maasai women are beautiful and inspiring It's good that she takes responsibility for life without depending on a man You showed us a beautiful side of Kenya. Thank you, my friend. Long hair looks beautiful on you 🤩 Really great video.

[@danielbreak4958]

Very interesting Yves, wow 😊

[@chrismutwiri4745]

In Kenya, both genders support each other for the development of the society. The destruction energy of feminism has not yet arrived here

[@T915ty]

Let's help the women and children especially in poverty countries. Thank you Yves for helping them share the site to purchase the hand made beads. Keep showing more of this please. Your awesome Yves and be safe ❤

[@lauras9966]

Beautiful land, amazing people. So good to see articulate educated men such as Elema championing the cause of women's independence in tribal areas. These are the people we want to get to know and that showcase the diversity, beauty and creativity of these lands. Thanks for posting!

[@obimobrandon2206]

Just bumped to one video and now I have watched four of your videos. Amazing.

[@dannmburu]

Beautiful faces-so full of life in what many would consider tough environment.Happiness is not based on possessions.It's a choice.

[@anneelymer9591]

Ashe oleng! Kino such a beautiful video of my people, the Maasai. So good to see these articulate young men championing this cause to bring the Maasai women to mainstream economy and earn an income!

[@Karen-s7q]

What an awesome experience to be invited along! I felt like I was dancing with them, tasted the fermented goat milk and fell in love with the beautiful view from the wildlife hotel! I will support their artwork. Thank you for spreading the word!

[@DJZeZe254]

God Bless this Our Beautiful Kenyan Mothers,beautiful just Beautiful....Thank you Mr Yves,be blessed.....🇰🇪🇰🇪

[@b-790]

These guys are talented and relentless marketers - its a very good thing for the community that makes these crafts! A bright and better future for them.

[@kennedymayienga919]

Emafura village Khwisero 🇰🇪 ... We are proud of you. Your next trip should be longitudinal across Africa through Eastern Uganda to Western Kenya

[@kennedymayienga919]

Matters Climate change are at my heart for a beerer life in Africa

[@moherbalistismadan7267]

Vyes epic journey is already in a longitudinal domain Egypt to Cape Town. It is the longest length so transverse should be the case for yours.

[@rafaelsoyiantet31]

Shifting the Maasai people from their cultural believes and norms might not be easy,it has to be a gradual proces,and in as much as they also need to be integrated into the modern world , their culture is authentic and special .Let us retain this culture and preserve it. congratulations Kino Yves.Waiting to see you in Kajiado Maasai Land as well.

[@mimon5569]

And why shiuld they do that

[@Machache]

They have also stated that it's to enable them to be able feed and take their children to school. So it's not about changing their culture but to better their life.

[@SospeteNyongesa]

Kino Yves is not about shifting Maasai from cultural beliefs but advocates for them to benefit in the global economic system. That really is what we need.

[@ndongandonga5869]

Kenya is amazing. We are only messed up by our government and a very harsh economy

[@dogoloabdulmalik2196]

I will really need to take this opportunity to thank you and appreciate you mr yvies for this great wonderful job you're of done for the Masai culture...more life and blessings to you mister Yvies ...one love ,peace and harmony

[@paulmboya2895]

One Word. "Humanity" it is Beautiful . Welcome to Kenya.

[@rang3688]

This is beautiful, a different content from your usual, but you executed it well. Kenya has indeed been recognized for its successful microfinance sector, which includes Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations (SACCOs). These institutions have played a crucial role in providing financial services to people who may not have access to traditional banking. Kenya's SACCOs have been a model for other countries, and they have contributed to financial inclusion and economic development in the region. I love the lodge. The cabins are great and that is modernity entrenched in nature. The Maasai don’t need modernity, I think on the contrary, the contemporary world should learn from Maasai about eco diversity.

[@NamibianYoutubeChannel]

Kenya is indeed doing good in micro financing. Africa needs to learn from it 🙏🏽

[@stephenmuindi-gp2es]

thank you, Yves, for such an interaction WITH Maasai women

[@eliudmwangi2887]

Thank you for advertising Masai to the world mr Yves

[@wm9669]

Kino! Thank you so much. 43 minutes long is acceptable. I can’t wait to go home and watch. 👍🏼

[@michaeljohn3738]

A very good video to show that empowering women all over the world will allow them to have financial independence and have a better life. More should support these causes all over the world.

[@ephraimmwaniki5846]

Aaarghh!!am ashamed I missed this videos' notification but am not very late .. What a video!!continue with the good work .am informed you are already past Kenya but one day I hope one day we shall meet. I will tell you how much all my family and friends are always waiting and following your vlogs. You are a great man Mr. Kīino

[@musah.254]

Been an avid follower since came across your youtube channel. Thank you for promoting our country by showing different cultures and your interactions with the local people. Your channel is one of the few I can spent more than 2hrs watching when I'm relaxing... Keep doing what you do and stay safe out there.

[@dianemireault6948]

Très bon partage et un pays à découvrir et visiter très chaleureux les africains… ❤❤❤

[@detch5307]

This is fantastic. Creating an opportunity for these women to improve their lives and benefit to their family and community. This would be a great model for the tribes in the far south of Ethiopia, like the Hamaar people just across the border. Thank you so much for bringing this to us Yves. Can't wait to look at their website. First thing I will buy is a Maasai dog collar for Mini.

[@BarefootJeff]

That was absolutely amazing as a entpreneour all my life and even as I child I did leather work bracelets, belts etc at 11 years old and sold them to students. I can really appreciate this organization and what they are doing 🙌 big thanks for sharing this to the world 🌎 👏 I would have love to been there.

[@NamibianYoutubeChannel]

Amazing to do that at age 11😊

[@offroader5]

This is such a great cause. I'm captivated by this culture. The colors, the singing/dancing, the women, the purpose.

[@dominiqueserviget]

Merci Yves Magnifique reportage Beau bracelet !!! Que la force soit avec toi !!!

[@nicklaus8536]

This is so enlightening and amazing. They are doing a great job with the Sacco project. Yves is also educating the world greatly here. I wish all visitors were so open-minded

Now I understand why Mr kino chose to travel using his bicycle, you real see and enjoy mostly than travel in car. Thank you Mr keep on touring and wishing you well and peace. Well came to kenya

[@xmateinc]

When you cross a continent by bicycle you remember the smells the landscape, everything. You’re sweat is in the ground across the whole continent. I’ve only done the North American continent, but I still remember all the smells and all the small things you would never see in a car.

[@tesfayewendu7571]

Yves i would like to say you are barev and honest and loyal person and hero. so i learn alot from your journey and thsnks

[@DiogoSilva-wu7pk]

[@አጎናፍርአስታጥቄAgonafir]

This episode is really great. You are making a positive effect in spreading the work these communities do. Thanks to Elema as well,; he is a talented leader. This can be a good lesson to most other nations in East Africa where we have similar tribes and similar challenges with the environment and empowering women!

[@nikibunga5168]

You are doing a very good Job my friend and you are very Brave

من اجمل ما قدمت وصورت لنا هذه القبائل اخي ايف جدا اشكرك وتحية طيبة لك صديقك من العراق 👍👍👍👍👍

[@enjoy3166]

You know what I like about you is when u record the videos it shows what it real looks not like an advertisement or with high definition.Just as real as it is

[@nicklaus8536]

If you guys could somehow get these products to be marketed and supplied in the EU, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, you could sell them at unbelievable prices, because they are seen as handcraft which is highly demanded and at premium prices there.

[@Mwalimu-jm-mwathi]

Woow This is the best video from Yves since I first saw your videos

[@Stefan-cc7ml]

Wow, wow, wow - best episode so far 😀 Thank you for sharing an presentating the work of Elema and this amazing massai woman!

Beadworks is an amazing economic empowerment to the Maasai women simply because unlike milk vending or Pastoralism which is common in Maasai community, beadworks is not Vulnerable to Climate change e.g drought and famine which sometimes render this pastrol communies helpless and poor.
