OMASI stands for Orkonerei Maasai Social Initiative.
The mission of OMASI is to reduce poverty among the Maasai, create income diversity, reduce rural- urban migration and eventually cede ownership towards the local communities.
Means to this end include setting up commercial businesses that will eventually become self-managing and economically independent from outside donors.
