Right now in Tanzania, there is an urgent need for action, as more than 100,000 Maasai People are under threat of forced eviction due to tourism and land grabs by the Tanzanian Government.

We are supporting the Maasai People of Tanzania in their struggle to defend their rights and their territories. Please join us.
