Memuti




Memuti is married to Nablo, has five children and lives at the foot of the Rift Valley Wall. He is a committed Christian and leader in the church whose wise counsel is greatly valued. He helps us with the Cow Project, looking after cows and advising us and has given us a small plot to demonstrate Foundations For Farming in his area.

Nosikito



Nosikito is a Maasai Christian woman who has a great heart for her people. She has a pastoral ministry in her community including two small churches and always has an open home. She is a widow with two adult sons and a daughter still in Secondary school. Although Nosikito didn't go to school herself, she has a sharp mind and has learnt to read as much as she needs to. She is very involved in all we do and is a key 'doorway' into the community.

Lekoko, Graham's right hand man on safari



Lekoko is a Maasai moran (warrior)of Il Korianga age set. He has worked for us as our night watchman for 7 years and now travels with Graham on all his Maasai trips, cooking, setting up the camp and interpreting both language and customs. He has also learnt the principles of Foundations for Farming and sets an excellent example on each demonstration plot to those Maasai who are more accustomed to putting the world to rights in the shade of a tree! He is here with his wife, Lande and their son Samwel
