    I have worked with her in Kajiado West. She is result oriented and very passionate about every work she puts her hands on. Very articulate and persuasive grass root mobilizer. She is also a seasoned Voter Educator. She deserves kudos for the transformative agenda she has initiated in her backyard. That makeshift gazebo...thumbs up!.

    ...because 90% of Africa is a 3rd world country and imporvished. She's doing this for clicks. Not to mention she's Masai... Maasai girls are cut between the ages of 12 and 14 to mark their change from girl to woman...which is genital mutilation and is pretty horrific. They cut the clit off so that the only pleasure she can feel is from a man....

    This has got to be the most positive clip I've seen in my life! I am a German that grew up in South Africa and returned to Germany as an adult. I've seen so much hardship and burgeoning concerning the black Continent that it hurts the heart. And now this genuine positive result of an educated individual that has made such a difference for her community, that it puts me to tears thinking: "I've been part of so many projects in my youth helping to even just equip a rural village with running water by damming up an uphill ravine in a mountainous region (Valley of the thousand hills in Kwazulu Natal), laying a pipe and fitting a couple of taps downhill. We were always awarded with a festive gratuitous ceremony, but I always thought that we didn't really make a difference since that was that. We never gave these villages KNOWLEDGE. This lady brought knowledge to her community. That's the difference! Knowledge is power. I am so utterly moved by this clip and so genuinely happy to for once see someone make a difference - a big difference! Thumbs up in happy tears!!!! All my love for this lady!!!

    This is really amazing! How fitting for a Maasai woman to talk to the world about sustainable, environmentally responsible living! For centuries Maasai women used to be the builders of dwellings in their communities and the resulting homesteads were so environment-friendly that when they'd break camp and relocate you could easily tell where the manyatta (homesteads) were because the grass was greener, and vegetation more luxuriant at those spots for years, and that was the only footprint they left! Sadly, no one even remembers that anymore! Good job! Ashe oleng' Selina! Unawakilisha. Tunajuvunia!

    We can't claim to be living off the grid. But we are using solar electricity from small providers, and in the middle of a big city (Vienna, Austria) we grow a fair amount of our own food on our balconey. My best wishes to everyone else trying to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources, and especially to those who are most affected by climate change, although the least responsible for it: the poor subsistence farmers all around the world. Maasailand is hit by a catastrophic drought, in the already marginal land that they were forced into. If we value life, we must change our lives.

    This kind of homestead built in such a short time, that must be really to motivating for the local people to see it bring results right away. Great work, just sharing seeds and saplings can help a lot, even if they don't copy all of it! I admire Selina Nkoile's drive.
