In 2007 UNICEF estimated that there are close to 2,600,000 orphans living in Tanzania. Although there are no comprehensive statistics for the exact number of HIV orphans, it is beyond doubt that HIV prevalence among the Maasai is increasingly becoming a major threat to their nomadic lifestyle. Every year the Maasai pastoral community get accustomed to occasional death resulting from their illiteracy about this killer disease (AIDS) and as a result when they pass away they leave behind destitute and helpless children under the care of their grandparents and other financially disadvantaged people in the society.Maasai people migrate all over the year due to conduct of herdsmen who made them to move around seeking grazing area for cattle and other animals. Most of Maasai people didn’t go to school and are not aware about HIV transmission, they didn’t practice safer sex among their polygamous family and they live below poverty line although some of them have many cattle. Lack of access to information on modern grazing accelerates the Maasai people to deeper poverty. We saw during drought period these herdsmen lost nearly 80% of their animals. This situation has led to many orphans unable to attend to school, get medical care and other basic needs.

consequently Dr. Gilbert Kabati togather with other concerned members of the community decided to give a thought over an idea to start an Non profit organisation to try and deal with the emerging trend back in the year 2006.
