The Masall live and herd cattle in the fertile pastures of southern Kenya. The Masall adhere to traditional protocols and are easily recognized by their colourful red clothing. But now their culture is in a period of change and transformation. The modern world is having an effect upon their culture. The Masall are seeking modern healthcare, schooling for their children, new clothes, even new materials to build houses. With each generation, the masall culture is evolving and adapting to new ways of life.
