The Maasai Pastoral Women have a special relationship with their cows. This world milk day, The Wildlife Foundation will host a group of women over a milk tea party and listen to narratives of their relationship with their cows and how they are dealing with the current challenges including prolonged droughts, uncertainty over Kenya's new milk bill and changing cultural landscapes. The forum hopes to understand their issues and help them come up with solutions to address these challenges and perhaps form a support group that will help them frequently exchange knowledge and build their resilience in light of emerging challenges.
