Maasai cricket warriors (PHOTOS)
Players in the Maasai Warriors cricket team take part in a practice session at the beach in Mombassa on March 6, 2012. The team is made up of Maasai warriors from the Laikipia region of Kenya. The players are aiming to be role models in their communities where they are actively campaigning against Female Genital Mutilation, early childhood marriages and are fighting for the rights of women.
A group of Maasai warriors in Kenya formed a cricket team to promote healthy living and spread awareness about HIV/AIDS and women's issues. They are hoping to take part in the Last Man Stands World Championships in South Africa.
