Mother & Baby project moves into community hands
A cattle herd now pays for maternity care in a Transmara village, so the project no longer depends on GIFT.
Since 2020 the Mother & Baby project has helped mothers in a Maasai village in Transmara give birth safely at the clinic.
In October 2024 the community voted to fund this care themselves. Fifteen steers were bought in December 2024 and sold at the end of 2025. The sale paid for the births in the year ahead and bought a new herd. None of the income comes back to GIFT. The project now belongs to the community.
This is what GIFT works towards: a project that can stand on its own.
