Naretoi
Empowering Maasai women to the summit of Mt. Kenya
The Maasai still live as pastoralists in a deeply traditional, patriarchal, and polygamous culture. "Men see us like we are nothing", says one Maasai woman, in a tribal community where arranged marriages and FGM are still practiced. The idea of Naretoi - meaning "women helping women" - sees a group of American and Maasai women come together to summit the 16,355 ft peak in a bid for empowerment. "The mountain has opened a way for me to think about myself", says one Maasai climber. "I do it because I have courage and strength."
