Illaramatak Community concerns. Il’laramatak is a Maasai word meaning “care-giver.” The Maasai are the “care-givers” of the grazing land throughout Kenya. ICC is the care-giver of the pastoralist community’s concerns regarding human rights, education and land.
ICC believes and recognizes that pastoralist communities in the arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya have much to offer to the country, and ICC would like to look at these groups differently

- and understanding what makes them distinct
By doing so, ICC hopes to reduce injustices meted against them, support their contribution to national development, and that they are treated and benefit accordingly in the spirit and commitment of the Kenyan Constitution 2010.
