Besides giving your karma a solid upgrade and leaving you with a pleasantly warm feeling inside, you can also help people who face a growing problem every year: drought. At the same time, modern civilization is rolling toward them like an unstoppable train. No one prepared them for such a change, and it is rapidly transforming their culture and way of life. The combination of these two forces—and the speed at which they arrive—can be truly overwhelming.
There are several ways you can support them. Sometimes it’s enough to mention them to friends or click a few buttons on social media. Buying the book helps as well, and so does direct financial support. We can use these funds very efficiently because we operate directly on the ground. If you want to see how the money has already been used, or how we plan to use it in the future, you can read more on the page about our projects.

Another option is to send a financial contribution directly. The amount you choose to send is entirely up to you. It is the simplest way to help, because the money goes straight to the project without any share taken by book retailers.
You can start simply by reading our travelogue and blog posts. You’ll learn more about the everyday life of the Maasai, a way of life that has changed very little over centuries. It helps even more if you tell your friends what you’ve learned.
You can also visit our social media. Follow us, like our posts, and share them. It costs nothing—just a few clicks. At first glance it may seem like a small thing, but even this kind of support can make a real difference for these people.
You can read the entire travelogue here on the internet for free. But if you decide to buy the electronic or audio version, you will also be helping the Maasai whose lives we write about in the book. The proceeds from the sales go directly to projects in this region.
In online stores it is available as an e-book, an audiobook, or a multimedia book. By buying it, you support the local community and you’ll always have the book within reach. It might come in handy someday—perhaps when you forget how to brew tea properly or how to dress.
You can buy this as ebook here The Maasai have God in the freezer. (It will soon be available in many other bookstores as well.)
