The <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\">United Nations Organisation <\/a><\/strong>has declared the <strong>Maasai tribe<\/strong> as being in danger of extinction and this project has enabled women from this community to actually work in the Maasai Mara, and by doing so, <strong>they benefit from fair trade that doesn\u2019t alter their life style.\u00a0 Pikolinos will donate all the profits made from the sales of this collection<em> (the third consecutive collection since Summer 2010) <\/em>to the Maasai Community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>We are very proud of the <strong>Maasai project<\/strong> and it shows us once again how such different cultures from around the world can still help each other.
