WELL KNOWN• NURTITION AND HYGEINE ARE ALSO A CONCERN• WOMEN ARE ENCOURAGED AND TYPICALLY DO,

GIVE BIRTH EACH YEAR • EACH PREGENCY POSES A GREAT DANGER TO

BOTH MOTHER AND CHILD

EDUCATION• MANY MASAI CHILDREN NOT GOING TO SCHOOL

UNTIL THE AGE OF TEN OR ELEVEN, OR IF AT ALL• FEW REACH STANDARD EIGHT( EIGHTH GRADE)

BECAUSE THEIR FAMILY DOES NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO SEND THEM TO SCHOOL IN THE CITY OF ELUAAI.

• THOSE THAT DO, MUST ATTEND SUB-STANDARD SCHOOLS WITH POOR TEACHING AND LOW- QUALITY FACILITIES
