The Maasai Tribe lives on the plains of Kenya, sharing their territory with wildlife such as elephants, lions, giraffe, and gazelles. The Maasai still live much as their ancestors did building huts of sticks, mud and dung; caring for their herds of cows, sheep and goats. This area is part of the Horn of Africa that has been hit hard by the recent drought. In many villages, people have to walk for miles to obtain water and then what they do obtain is often contaminated with disease and parasites. The drought has also impacted them economically as many of the animals in the herds and flocks have died. With drought comes an increase in disease. In these remote areas, CMF medical clinics treat physical ailments while also addressing spiritual needs.
Last year these medical clinics provided care to more than 75,000 people. Our team conducted community outreaches ministering to the needs of patients many of whom are HIV positive.

In addition to working with the CMF medical work, our team partnered with the Community Christian Church which is an indigenous church among the Maasai. This group of churches is growing quickly as they share the Good News of Jesus Christ with their people. We worked with them in youth evangelism.
