Our Vision, Mission and MO.
Heal the Rift.
The Milgis Trust is exactly what it says: The Milgis – a core area within the Samburu heart lands of northern Kenya, and Trust – not only as a legal entity, but more importantly – Trust, as a core value in building consensus with the tribal communities, chiefs and elders in identifying common meaning and purpose and an understanding that sustainability in the region for present and future generations is based on interdependency, co-operation, collaboration and respect for its natural resources.
Community Based Development and Nature Conservation
The Milgis Trust aims to conserve the wildlife, habitat and pastoral people's way of life. Its core area is located in northern Kenya within the drainage of the Matthews Range, Ndoto Mountains and Karisia Hills, spreading out towards Oldonyo Mara, Mount Nyiru and Mount Kulal. The Trust covers approximately 8,000 sq kms and supports a diverse range of flora and fauna and the pastoral livelihoods of several different nomadic tribes including the Samburu, Turkana and Rendille.
