Preserving Culture While Building Climate Resilience
At the heart of the Habitat for Humanity’s Let’s Open the Door campaign is Women Building Resilient Manyattas, an initiative that recognises Maasai women as custodians of indigenous housing knowledge.
Traditionally responsible for constructing manyattas, Maasai women are now being equipped with climate-resilient building techniques and improved materials that strengthen traditional homes while preserving their cultural identity.
