Conservation Partnerships Nalepo Women

The Nalepo Women Group consists of seven dedicated members who operate a market space within Masai Mara Sopa Lodge. Their vibrant offerings include exquisite beadwork, handcrafted items, and traditional Maasai shukas, with guests serving as their primary customers. We support them by providing a dignified workplace.

Beadwork is a hallmark of Maasai culture, and these women showcase their incredible talent through engaging guest interactions. Just a short distance from the market is Enkanasa Boma (traditional Maasai manyatta), built and maintained by the Nalepo women, reflecting their cultural heritage and responsibilities.

In addition to their entrepreneurial efforts, they actively participate in environmental conservation initiatives, collaborating with the Lodge and community on clean-up drives and tree planting. Their contributions extend to evening entertainment, where they perform traditional Maasai dances alongside local morans, enriching the guest experience.

We take pride in our hardworking Mamas, whose efforts not only uplift their families but also provide educational opportunities for their children, enabling them to pursue their primary and university studies. The impact of their humble business on the community's quality of life is truly remarkable.
