“It is only for the love and compassion that I have towards my community which made me thinks of being responsible to them. I am responsible” (Emmanuel ole Kileli – 2006)

Ereto Maasai Youth (EMAYO) is a Tanzanian based not for profit organisation aiming to improve livelihoods in pastoral societies by working to harness the skills and knowledge that exist within communities. Its activities target education, water supply, human rights, and economic development because these are the issues that pastoralists communities are themselves raising.
With a special focus on youth, children and women’s empowerment EMAYO is helping to promote a people free from poverty, living in harmony, with a recognized, productive and well governed sustainable livelihoods system.

Who we are

Our organisation was set up in 2005 by a group of young Maasai people. Each of us is concerned about the communities in which we live and want to find ways to promote improvements in living conditions whilst helping to preserve and promote our culture and way of life.
