Describe any five problems faced by the Maasais were confined to special reserves.

Dear student,

Kindly find the answer to your query:

The pastoral Masai occupy the Narok and Kajiado districts of Kenya. The basic economic and social unit is the enkang, a semi-permanent settlement of several families pasturing their stock together, perhaps ten to twenty huts surrounded by a thorn or  leleshua fence into which the livestock are driven at night. The basic problem faced by this tribe are :

• Frequent droughts affected their life in a drastic manner.
• Many people lost their cows and other cattle.
• The cattle moved far away in search of pasture & water.​
• To find an alternative lifestyle different from cattle herding have become a major challenge.​
• Many school children couldn't go to school due to lack of school fees & food.

Hope these points will clear your doubt about the topic and if you have more doubts please get back to us on our forum.
