In keeping with this week’s focus on the Maasai community, our script of the week tells how one Maasai farmer popularized camel milk and other camel products in a Maasai community in southern Kenya.
In the extreme droughts of 2000, many of the cattle owned by a Maasai community in Kenya died. This farmer realized the advantages of camels when water is in short supply – that camels can survive droughts by browsing on leaves other animals cannot eat, that they are resistant to most diseases, and that they can provide a reliable and consistent source of income and a nutritious food for the family and the community at a time when other food may be in short supply.
