Maasai girls are cut between the ages of 12 and 14 to mark their change from girl to woman...which is genital mutilation and is pretty horrific. They cut the clit off so that the only pleasure she can feel is from a man....

This has got to be the most positive clip I've seen in my life! I am a German that grew up in South Africa and returned to Germany as an adult. I've seen so much hardship and burgeoning concerning the black Continent that it hurts the heart. And now this genuine positive result of an educated individual that has made such a difference for her community, that it puts me to tears thinking: "I've been part of so many projects in my youth helping to even just equip a rural village with running water by damming up an uphill ravine in a mountainous region (Valley of the thousand hills in Kwazulu Natal), laying a pipe and fitting a couple of taps downhill. We were always awarded with a festive gratuitous ceremony, but I always thought that we didn't really make a difference since that was that. We never gave these villages KNOWLEDGE. This lady brought knowledge to her community. That's the difference! Knowledge is power. I am so utterly moved by this clip and so genuinely happy to for once see someone make a difference - a big difference! Thumbs up in happy tears!!!! All my love for this lady!!!

This is really amazing! How fitting for a Maasai woman to talk to the world about sustainable, environmentally responsible living! For centuries Maasai women used to be the builders of dwellings in their communities and the resulting homesteads were so environment-friendly that when they'd break camp and relocate you could easily tell where the manyatta (homesteads) were because the grass was greener, and vegetation more luxuriant at those spots for years, and that was the only footprint they left! Sadly, no one even remembers that anymore! Good job! Ashe oleng' Selina! Unawakilisha. Tunajuvunia!

We can't claim to be living off the grid. But we are using solar electricity from small providers, and in the middle of a big city (Vienna, Austria) we grow a fair amount of our own food on our balconey. My best wishes to everyone else trying to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources, and especially to those who are most affected by climate change, although the least responsible for it: the poor subsistence farmers all around the world. Maasailand is hit by a catastrophic drought, in the already marginal land that they were forced into. If we value life, we must change our lives.

Bur what this lady is doing is totally revolutionary which I would love to see Masai community grow their wealth 10 folds by protecting environment and keep quality controlled livestock rather than quantity...

[@dmoffatt8354]

Gigi Man: What you touched on about protecting the environment poses a dilemma for the Maasai because the central focus within their culture is cattle ownership which provides many benefits for them, namely their wealth, meat, milk, ceremonial blood and probably work field help. That's why it would be hard for them to do without owning & grazing cattle on lands around their community. Unfortunately for the planet, cattle poop is the single greatest cause of greenhouse gases. So, therein lies the dilemma for the Maasai: do they continue centuries old tradition of cattle raising or will they transform away from cattle rearing to suit the environment?

@@Nicolaspurr African women are the pillar especially in rural areas, most men just sit doing nothing only scratching their B...s hahaha. I was brought up by one ...Educated me took me abroad for higher studies, i saw her being leader of the community, church, organising the whole area to get electricity, water now she is the leader of widowers and their children making sure they get funds to study. She isn't very much educated but full of wisdom but unfortunately her time there was no internet.....she is 91yrs she also fought in Mau Mau ....so there are soo many of them our mothers silent heros but i also understand what Western Show but that one is not an excuse their alot of information on line or just travel there. I think African women contribute much more than one's in developed countries at present considering all the barriers they face ...

@@a.muchemi4360 lol correct. African women are really strong especially Kenyans. Our grandmothers had 10kids, took care of livestock and tilled land among other things. How the media porrtrays things is very inaccurate. The maasai women built even houses
