Ioanna Touni documents daily life and Maasai culture in Kenya
Greek entrepreneur and influencer Ioanna Touni has shared insights into daily life in Kenya during her recent travels. Through social media updates, she documented the living conditions of local villagers, noting that homes are constructed using mud, clay, and cow dung supported by wooden beams.
Touni highlighted the economic challenges faced by families, specifically regarding education. She noted that even primary school, which is considered compulsory, requires tuition fees that place a financial burden on residents. Additionally, she described the hygiene challenges faced by the community, as residents must travel to rivers for bathing and water collection, a process she noted can be dangerous due to local wildlife.
During her trip, Touni also visited the home of a Maasai tribal chief to learn about their culture and livelihoods. Her travels through the region included visits to an elephant orphanage, marking the conclusion of her journey through Kenya.
