We are MERC
& This Is What We Do.

The Maasai Community is organizing across Maasailand to reclaim lands stolen under British colonization and reoccupied under the state of Kenya.

MERC collaborates with the Dopoi Center and Mara Guides Association to build a tourism industry that benefits the Maasai community and environment. 

What is written about Maasailand has typically not included the input of Maasa people themselves. MERC supports Maasai scholarship and collaboration on knowledge production and research that supports our community.
