The Oliveseed Women's Work Center provides micro-enterprises, vocational and marketing training, a cooperative environment for learning and creative collaboration, and a sales channel for Maasai women. The women are representatives from 17 families in the Emarti area, not far from Sekenani. This enables women to build their skills and strengths — and earn an income for the first time in their lives. With their income, they keep their children in school and help support their extended families. 

The women were already highly skilled bead artisans when they joined the Center and while here have developed additional designs to appeal to buyers at safari camps. We purchase the high-quality glass beads and local leather for them to work with. They're also now highly skilled in sewing, as we have an experienced seamstress and sewing trainer on site. A top-priority sewing program is making reusable sanitary kits to keep teen girls in school, addressing the tragedy of the high drop-out rate locally and high teen pregnancy rate. We are passionate about keeping the region's daughters in school.​​
