Kenya’s Maasai community is slowly adapting to the new way of living as dictated by Covid-19 pandemic as the future of their ancient ways continue to diminish.

Joseph Ole Mpatai, an elder from the pastoral Maasai community at the shadow of Chyullu ranges in Iltilal village, Loitoktok, Kajado County confirms that even though the majority of the people are trying to cope with the new normal of intermingling in masks, most of their cultural deeds have come to a halt.
