South of Nairobi lies the Kajiado county, a region of Kenya where long red sand roads join small villages scattered between huge valleys and plateaus. Here they live the Maasai, indigenous peoples who are dedicated to agricultural and livestock activities. The nature in these areas is fascinating, but also harsh and inhospitable: the Kajiado is particularly vulnerable to drought and there are few accessible water sources. Local communities are affected by this climate: levels of malnutrition are continuously increasing and mainly affect children and young people, but because of the distance from the cities and the condition of poverty these communities they don't have access to the care they need.
Participating in the relay with World Friends means defending the right to health of the most vulnerable people in Kajiado. It means bringing mobile clinics to offer medical examinations. It means giving him back the possibility of being cured.
