Vision and Mission


Naserian Welfare Women Group (NWWG) is a registered community based organization operating within the Lolgorian area of TransMara district. Lolgorian is situated near Maasai Mara game reserve, 260 km south of Nairobi and 120 km from Narok town
NWWG's Vision
An empowered maasai woman free from FGM where human rights for all are upheld.

NWWG's Mission

To transform the Maasai women and girls educationally, culturally and economically into a modern self-reliant community without destroying their positive traditional value systems.

Main Goals and Objectives

1. To contribute towards eradication of FGM in line with WHO resolution (by 2015) in order to promote girl child education; improve women reproductive health, human rights position and elevation of the social-economic status of the Maasai woman.
2. To enhance community capacity and to participate in securing sustainable livelihoods for the Maasai people of Lolgorian region by putting in place programs that enable profitable participation for the community in the eco-tourism activities.
3. To provide clean water to the community by seeking the assistance of supporters/ donors to help in the drilling of boreholes. Clean and adequate water supply is a critical need as the water systems around the Mara region is now heavily polluted as a result of tourists’ camps and upcoming urban centres.
4. To provide better health care services to the community which at the moment lacks proper hospital facilities despite of the area being a high-risk area for disease such as Malaria, Typhoid and TB.
5. To initiate environment conservation measures for the benefit of the community, livestock and wildlife. The environment around the Mara region faces imminent degradation as a result of many tourist lodges and camps being built haphazardly and due to mushrooming of shopping centres.

Core Values

These core values form the basis of NWWG (CBO) organizational culture:
I. NWWG will strive to uphold honesty and transparency in all its dealings.
II. Integrity is a central issue in the running of NWWG
III. NWWG will strive to be transparent and accountable for the community and its donors.
IV. NWWG will strive to uphold justice and fairness in all the dealings.
V. NWWG will strive to provide social services that will improve the living standard and reduce poverty among the Maasai of the Mara region.
VI. NWWG shall endeavor to promote gender equity in all its program activities.
VII. NWWG shall endeavor to promote and protect respect for human rights in all its program activities.
VIII. NWWG will be responsive to the community and as such, will strive to promote the involvement and participation of the Maasai community (men, women and children) in its development program activities.
