MAMA JUSTINE EMMANUEL KISSANGA READY TO ADDRESS THE MAASAI ADVOCACY PROJECT AT MAGUNGU VILLAGE IN DODOMA, TANZANIA, EAST AFRICA

\"Maasai
Maasai Women who are being segregated from being provided with education and health services in Dodoma region at Magungu village in Tanzania. They are not at all accessed to village medical and educational environment and are vulnerable to disease attack and infection.
\"Magungu
Magungu Maasai children are not at all taken to school. They are used as cow boys, to look after cattle throughout their lifetime. They are not at all accessed to education and health services in Magungu village in Tanzania. Hekima Women Project is looking for Funding to address the problem through Advocacy training program in these areas and is willing to address the problem
\"These
These Maasai women are always being addressed in a seminar form to provide them with education and awareness on how to deal with these two issues so that we can change the lifestyles and improve their lives.
\"These
These Maasai men are being grouped together to address them on issues related to violation of human rights acts such as not taking their children to school and health services that it is against human rights to do so.
\"These
These children are not going to school at all. They are just lingering under the trees without doing anything. It is a great risk to them.
\"Education
Education materials such as leaflets are being given given to kids to kick start the process of educating them.

Maasai Women and Children are being segregated from Education and Health Services by Maasai Men since women and Children are not taken to schools, they are used to look after cattle throughout their lifetime. Thay do not go schoos at all. Women and children again are not at all given medical services and they end up getting nutritional and infectious diseases.



Maasai people lives in remote areas in the bushlands and are susceptible to disease attacks and malnutrition.



These are serious activitities against human rights and they are being done in the eyes of the communities and very few activists talk about it.



We as community members wants to address the problem by involving into a project that will address the problem by advocating the needs to get into the Maasai communities through Funding hand. Now we are looking for funding from anywhere including AWID.
