I have worked with her in Kajiado West. She is result oriented and very passionate about every work she puts her hands on. Very articulate and persuasive grass root mobilizer. She is also a seasoned Voter Educator. She deserves kudos for the transformative agenda she has initiated in her backyard. That makeshift gazebo...thumbs up!.
What an intelligent and insightful woman. So uplifting to see her returning to her village to share her education and perspective with the others -- and exciting that they are open to the learning she has to share! This gives us hope.
How inspiring! That's a face of Africa we don't see very much. A beautiful and inspiring face. Gratitude and love to this happy, clever, sustainable, modern, nature friendly community for showing us the way. One way among others but for sure one of the best.
...because 90% of Africa is a 3rd world country and imporvished. She's doing this for clicks. Not to mention she's Masai... Maasai girls are cut between the ages of 12 and 14 to mark their change from girl to woman...which is genital mutilation and is pretty horrific. They cut the clit off so that the only pleasure she can feel is from a man....
What an amazing woman! Her tiny off-grid home looks so inviting and comfortable! Her concern for the environment, support and activities for gender rights and girls' education makes her wonderful role model for girls and women alike to follow in her footsteps.
There is something called different seasons . It can't be dry all the time. If it was dry all the time then the animals would die. Yes, they have dry seasons of course. It's not the desert.
Permaculture design will have allowed them to create the best style of grow area for water retention and irrigation. Its a method of gardening but also a practical design system too. I'm saving up to visit Kenya and trying to work out how I can incorporate visiting this farm into my trip!
Maybe they dislike her because she is a feminist and a traitor to the Maasai and Africa. So-called ‘gender-equality’ is Western poison and has no place here.
This is really amazing! How fitting for a Maasai woman to talk to the world about sustainable, environmentally responsible living! For centuries Maasai women used to be the builders of dwellings in their communities and the resulting homesteads were so environment-friendly that when they'd break camp and relocate you could easily tell where the manyatta (homesteads) were because the grass was greener, and vegetation more luxuriant at those spots for years, and that was the only footprint they left! Sadly, no one even remembers that anymore! Good job! Ashe oleng' Selina! Unawakilisha. Tunajuvunia!
So many layers to this woman's story. I love the more self-sustaining environment she has created along with the really cool living spaces contained therein. Environmentally friendly, beneficial to all.
She is a feminist and a traitor to the Maasai and Africa. So-called ‘gender-equality’ is Western poison and has no place here. Kenya has become a Westernized mess.
Truly inspiring and uplifting! Thanks Selina for showing what one can do in times of trouble and make things so bountiful and beautiful in the process! Thanks!
Watching this brought tears in my eyes. I live in Eastern-Europe, very different history, very different culture, yet, we have the same dreams and hopes for the future. Such a beautiful place and such a beautiful person! I wish you all the best!!
Shouting with love and respect from the Bronx, New York City area! Seeing this brings tears of joy to my eyes, I'm so excited for her and her community! May she and her community, continue to flourish with long life and good health! Ashe O!!! As an African from the Americas, I would love to replicate something like this in the Dominican Republic. Ashe!!!
i have had plans of doing similar in my country, Jamaica, since 2015. i have made many atempts to to leave New York and go back home to fulfill my dreams, but failed to take the plunge. seing what she has done here reminds me that i am a coward.
@@blackbway i understand, there are many forces going against us that we must conquer. We have too many baggage we carry that set us back, she clearly comes from a supportive and very cultured community. We're still trying to detox from this toxic western paradigm that has seeped into our veins. Where are you from in New York?
I’m in love with this woman and this place. My Africa is full of potential…thank you for being such a guiding light. Sustainable living, self reliance….no handouts, no aid.
This has got to be the most positive clip I've seen in my life! I am a German that grew up in South Africa and returned to Germany as an adult. I've seen so much hardship and burgeoning concerning the black Continent that it hurts the heart. And now this genuine positive result of an educated individual that has made such a difference for her community, that it puts me to tears thinking: "I've been part of so many projects in my youth helping to even just equip a rural village with running water by damming up an uphill ravine in a mountainous region (Valley of the thousand hills in Kwazulu Natal), laying a pipe and fitting a couple of taps downhill. We were always awarded with a festive gratuitous ceremony, but I always thought that we didn't really make a difference since that was that. We never gave these villages KNOWLEDGE. This lady brought knowledge to her community. That's the difference! Knowledge is power. I am so utterly moved by this clip and so genuinely happy to for once see someone make a difference - a big difference! Thumbs up in happy tears!!!! All my love for this lady!!!
@@GrowingSmall it is not African Bush. It's kenya Bush. African is continent not country. I know you are well educated. Because the story you are showing from kenya not the same story happening in other countries within the continent of Africa.
Hello It’s Sunday 12th March in London UK. I read your comment with tears. Would you like to rain a sustainable off grid village in Ghana West Africa? I’d love to hear your thoughts on that. Thank you, Anna
I was here on 28th September. Absolutely beautiful. Exactly as you see it and more is coming. Selina is very calm and humble and beautiful. Loads of work they have put in. It's my new getaway!!
I honestly would have loved a much more in depth tour of this garden and hearing more. Ditto for the video with Caleb's farm. He strikes me as having a wealth of knowledge to impart.
@@GrowingSmall excellent highlighting a different perspective of Masai land. I farm in Narok Ewaso Nyiro and would love to visit her. Can you kindly share her contacts
This kind of homestead built in such a short time, that must be really to motivating for the local people to see it bring results right away. Great work, just sharing seeds and saplings can help a lot, even if they don't copy all of it! I admire Selina Nkoile's drive.
She is so beautiful and intelligent, so happy she is using what she learned to help her people and also it’s nice to see that it did not change who she is.
Awesome comment! The water tower has such a cool design, the bedroom is awesome and also the top level that gives you a birds eye perspective of the entire place.
@@GrowingSmall If you can please visit Okere City in Uganda, they are also creating a sustainable community. Thank you for highlighting such an important place, really enjoyed 🌿🌎🌱🦋💐🌞
This is so wonderful! I traveled to Kenya to the Mara village and was made an honorary member. It was such an honor! I absolutely love the Masai women, they are extra ordinary and do so much! My wife, had she been born in Africa would no doubt be a Masai woman as she has the same qualities! So very exciting to see this!
Beautiful. I love the farm and everything she has done with it. I love how she talks about not having utility bills or rent, which motivates people on every continent. I also love her clothes but most of all she is a beautiful inspiration keeping traditions alive while blending with modern life.
@christine n, good too see you here, it brought a smile to my face when I saw your name, this video is so amazing, this is what I always wanted to do was live in the villages when I get to the land away from the hustle and bustle of the city life especially in the mountains in those lodges, I have been looking over the internet at these places making a scrap book of the lodges and getting great ideas, oh my I just can't wait to get there I'm so excited 😊
Great project! My heart swelled with joy and pride watching this video. Interestingly enough, I hope and pray this becomes inspirational for people not only throughout Africa but in the West Indies as well. Great way to take our lives back! Love it!

This was so pleasing to watch... I'd love to go visit and meditate on the roof of the tower... the view at sunrise across that landscape must be amazing.
Congratulations 🎉 on being a home owner. Your homestead is absolutely beautiful. How wonderful that you decided to do something positive for your community.
I visited Masai Manyatta many years ago and I can honestly say I never expected a Masai woman to take on this way of life. It’s a fantastic project taken on by a very capable woman that hopefully will give the Masai another way to take care of themselves growing their food.
I really loved watching this video. What an amazing, passionate and caring woman! It is beautiful indeed to see what Selina and Brian have created and how they much they love their community.
I've lived in Kenya for a few years now, I'm only finding out about so many of these people and places through your videos. Thank you for supporting and encouraging them❤️❤️
Such a wonderful surrounding and wonderful lady! I have recently discovered this channel and absolutely adore it! So much to learn and know here.. and most of all, to feel joy of watching such way of life, watching people so happy and content and so one with nature.. it's my getaway to watch these programmes from busy city life..
Thank you, super happy to hear that you've found my small channel and that it has given you new insights - that's exactly what I'm trying to achieve, getting people excited about different ways of living, showing alternatives.
I loved your opening sentence: ''Hello I'm a Masai woman''. Hello Selina lovely video. You have an amazing off -grid homestead. I particularly liked your tower rooms. Beautiful.
This is a beautiful country and community. Your garden is amazing! You too are very beautiful! Thanks for sharing your life and talent with the garden with us 🇺🇸😊
What an uplifting story. I just hope this wonderful lady will teach her people some of what she has learned and teach them how to build their own beautiful homes. Blessing to the masi people!
her people know how to build even storyhouses but theyare normads , manyattas are used for a short period.. for long stays we have big towns but we just love manyattas ..
Oh my goodness! I love it. I am originally from Trinidad now living in the US and I can see where some of our foods came from like cassava, pigeon peas etc. this is such a blessing to live how God originally intended for us to be.🙏🏽❤️
Amazing, great work Selina and family! May many community members be inspired by your sustainable living, food production and care for the environment.
What a charming, beautiful, creative and very clever young woman !!! Masai are noble people, I always admired them in the past, and now I can see how able their women are to improve their lives. Bravo ! Keep up with your progress good women, and all my best wishes to this fantastic young person.
@@GrowingSmall We have a homestead and post videos and I am so intrigued with how many people follow you! Well done! Maybe we will be like that someday!
Bravo. I visited the Maasai in Tanzania several years ago, and was amazed how well they were coping with very limited resources. Selina Nkolle is a living example of this. Bravo.
We can't claim to be living off the grid. But we are using solar electricity from small providers, and in the middle of a big city (Vienna, Austria) we grow a fair amount of our own food on our balconey. My best wishes to everyone else trying to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources, and especially to those who are most affected by climate change, although the least responsible for it: the poor subsistence farmers all around the world. Maasailand is hit by a catastrophic drought, in the already marginal land that they were forced into. If we value life, we must change our lives.
Where is part 2? 😅 I was so drawn I didn't notice it ending. It's encouraging to know that she did all that in a year, I'm still struggling with my urban homestead 🤭
No part 2 is planned unfortunately. So glad the video kept you engaged all the way to the end! Many many hands helped in making this homestead grow to where it is today :)
I like the Idea that she return the energy back to her community after the family spent their energy for her Education. ,Most of us young people we run to the city and keep on faking life and wast time. After I realize that I went back to my village I am a #Forest Farmer.. My farm contain,Trees ,Fruits,Coffee, Vanilla,Banana,Herbs and Green vegetable, I am a Vanilla expert, we also use Art, & music to inspire youth to get back to farming... (Art,Music and Farming).
Just so amazing that this video resonates with so many of you! If you feel like joining on a longer tour of Selina's homestead, head over to my Patreon page where I just uploaded the UNCUT version of this video. It'll show more details and also allow you to get to know Selina a bit better! I really appreciate your support as I'd like to make many more of these kind of videos more to inspire people to choose sustainable ways of living! www.patreon.com/GrowingSmall
WOW!!!!!!! She is a beautiful soul! What an awesome person to want to go back and share her knowledge to help her people. Many should be taking notes...........................................
Thanks Toto, linked to your video as well in this one. So thankful for your encouragement, will try harder to bring people's inspiring stories to life in the coming months and years!
BRAVO, the most optimistic thing i saw in a long time. Minorities like this one are the worlds reference point. They should not intergrate themselves to the rest of the world, but rather their knowledge. They lived on that land and by that land for thousand of years and with a little bit of education, they can bring land management and appreciation to a whole new level. The most important thing though is to save themselveles, their identity, their way of living, their knowledge, couse nobody else is gona do it for them.
@@1908oceanworld it's fitting that white people should help wherever they can. It brings balance to all the destruction. Helping doesn't make it a white idea though so credit where it's due.
A beautiful and useful concept made real! Just amazing. The presenter’s enthusiasm is apparent and I’m excited for her to have a developing area like that! A model the rest of the world could emulate!
Very good woman doing so much work for gardening and for vegetables and for guiding all and showing the culture i like and love you but i have no money to visit it so i feel agony but really feels good seeing you
God bless you for leading the way! Hoping to come back home someday and pioneer such a change in other parts of our beautiful country!! I'm in love with what you did there! You're also very well spoken!! Lots of love!! Keep going!!
It`s rare to find such an exquisite mind, when everyone is thinking about how to make money, you stayed true to the course which is conservation. May God Bless you
Amazing talented beautiful young woman who cares for humanity. Returning to her village & inspiring great natural living, away from the maddening crowd. I am so uplifted and assured that all things are possible when you have intentions to succeed. I salute you African Sistar Queen, may your works continue to shine bright…..Ase👊🏾

That desire, May God see it come true🙏🏽
Willy mckinty I would like to get in touch with you.
Thank you.
You and your home are beautiful!! You are definitely an inspiration to so many.
This is a beautiful country and community. Your garden is amazing! You too are very beautiful! Thanks for sharing your life and talent with the garden with us 🇺🇸😊
What an uplifting story. I just hope this wonderful lady will teach her people some of what she has learned and teach them how to build their own beautiful homes. Blessing to the masi people!
her people know how to build even storyhouses but theyare normads , manyattas are used for a short period.. for long stays we have big towns but we just love manyattas ..
Oh my goodness! I love it. I am originally from Trinidad now living in the US and I can see where some of our foods came from like cassava, pigeon peas etc. this is such a blessing to live how God originally intended for us to be.🙏🏽❤️
🙏🏾💚🌿
I'd rather live with these Masai any day than live in the US.
Halleluyah
@@misst.e.a.187 I can agree 💯
Amazing, great work Selina and family! May many community members be inspired by your sustainable living, food production and care for the environment.
Thank you so much Stephen.
Absolutely amazing! This is truly inspiring. Thank you.
What a charming, beautiful, creative and very clever young woman !!!
Masai are noble people, I always admired them in the past, and now I can see how able their women are to improve their lives.
Bravo ! Keep up with your progress good women, and all my best wishes to this fantastic young person.
1000 Blessings to this woman. I hope she has a long, fulfilling and loving life.
P.s. I like how she blended traditional and modern clothing
Just amazing . Indeed it can be done ✔ this is a great demonstration rural kenya communities can thrive
Absolutely!
This is absolutely beautiful and amazing. What an inspiration. I love this.
Thank you so much! So glad you're inspired by Selina's story and the amazing homestead they've built!
@@GrowingSmall We have a homestead and post videos and I am so intrigued with how many people follow you! Well done! Maybe we will be like that someday!
This woman is amazing. You can see the kindness and intelligence radiating from her.
Bravo. I visited the Maasai in Tanzania several years ago, and was amazed how well they were coping with very limited resources. Selina Nkolle is a living example of this. Bravo.
We can't claim to be living off the grid. But we are using solar electricity from small providers, and in the middle of a big city (Vienna, Austria) we grow a fair amount of our own food on our balconey. My best wishes to everyone else trying to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources, and especially to those who are most affected by climate change, although the least responsible for it: the poor subsistence farmers all around the world. Maasailand is hit by a catastrophic drought, in the already marginal land that they were forced into. If we value life, we must change our lives.
Where is part 2? 😅 I was so drawn I didn't notice it ending. It's encouraging to know that she did all that in a year, I'm still struggling with my urban homestead 🤭
No part 2 is planned unfortunately. So glad the video kept you engaged all the way to the end! Many many hands helped in making this homestead grow to where it is today :)
Me too, the ending was unexpected
Me too! Rather abrupt ending.
I didn't want it to end. Fantastic lady
Mee too😍
Encouraging and motivating!!! Wish she can even be aired by local channels for people to see her star and encourage the youths especially
I like the Idea that she return the energy back to her community after the family spent their energy for her Education. ,Most of us young people we run to the city and keep on faking life and wast time. After I realize that I went back to my village I am a #Forest Farmer.. My farm contain,Trees ,Fruits,Coffee, Vanilla,Banana,Herbs and Green vegetable,
I am a Vanilla expert, we also use Art, & music to inspire youth to get back to farming... (Art,Music and Farming).
Very beautiful, a great family effort must have been in place. Love the environment . Kudos Selina!
Outstanding. You have done a beautiful job with this homestead and you should be very proud of your accomplishments. Live long and prosper.
Wow. What a wonderful homestead. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and ingenuity with us.
I am Kenyan living in Austria and i can't wait to come back home and live with nature away from city life.Your homestead looks beautiful.
What a find! Would love to see more of this type of ingenuity replicated across the continent. Women and men like yourself are the beginning...
Wow lady! you are not only a heroine but also a blessing for your community. May God bless you more!
SOOOOO IMPRESSIVE!!!!!
Just so amazing that this video resonates with so many of you! If you feel like joining on a longer tour of Selina's homestead, head over to my Patreon page where I just uploaded the UNCUT version of this video. It'll show more details and also allow you to get to know Selina a bit better! I really appreciate your support as I'd like to make many more of these kind of videos more to inspire people to choose sustainable ways of living! www.patreon.com/GrowingSmall
WOW!!!!!!! She is a beautiful soul! What an awesome person to want to go back and share her knowledge to help her people.
Many should be taking notes...........................................
What an inspiring force of hope, God bless you Sister
That water tower with a Room is dope.
My favourite feature on her home
Such a bright idea..
This is amazing, simplicity and authenticity to African architecture at its best.
That is a really nice place an setup for homesteading. I love it an good for you. May God bless you on your journey.
Awesome! Keep telling us more stories like this Jakob; ) You have a good eye and heart in finding these stories.
Thanks Toto, linked to your video as well in this one. So thankful for your encouragement, will try harder to bring people's inspiring stories to life in the coming months and years!
@@GrowingSmall You will, many people are trying across the continent, you are needed here!
Do they have internet service?
Awesome job gal, God bless you Mighty
@@cultivatingwellness4028 yes we do...
BRAVO, the most optimistic thing i saw in a long time. Minorities like this one are the worlds reference point. They should not intergrate themselves to the rest of the world, but rather their knowledge. They lived on that land and by that land for thousand of years and with a little bit of education, they can bring land management and appreciation to a whole new level. The most important thing though is to save themselveles, their identity, their way of living, their knowledge, couse nobody else is gona do it for them.
She integrated herself. Saw pictures and there were white people helping out in the project. Probably even married to a white guy.
How is a black woman on the continent of Africa a minority?
#decolonizeyourmind
She's not a minority. Indigenous is far more accurate.
@@1908oceanworld it's fitting that white people should help wherever they can. It brings balance to all the destruction. Helping doesn't make it a white idea though so credit where it's due.
Each room in your garden is filled with ingenious designs and happy plants, I wish you and your community much success 🌾
Do you really?
A beautiful and useful concept made real! Just amazing. The presenter’s enthusiasm is apparent and I’m excited for her to have a developing area like that! A model the rest of the world could emulate!
Very good woman doing so much work for gardening and for vegetables and for guiding all and showing the culture i like and love you but i have no money to visit it so i feel agony but really feels good seeing you
Thank you ilove you like your activity
God bless you for leading the way! Hoping to come back home someday and pioneer such a change in other parts of our beautiful country!! I'm in love with what you did there! You're also very well spoken!! Lots of love!! Keep going!!
What a beautiful human being. Thank you for giving her story a platform. I'm so inspired! Food&Love
I love everything about this homestead.
Awesome! Wish I could live there!! That is one beautiful garden! How blessed.
I'm as proud of her as if she was my own daughter.
What an inspiration. Easy on the eyes too.
It`s rare to find such an exquisite mind, when everyone is thinking about how to make money, you stayed true to the course which is conservation. May God Bless you
This is so beautiful. Propagating new ways of living with nature, well done 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️🇧🇷
Selina Nkoile and Brian have shown us how beautiful permaculture can be;)
Beautiful example of permaculture in action!
So proud of this lady !! She has been doing the best of what she has learned to contribute to her own community and country.
Amazing talented beautiful young woman who cares for humanity. Returning to her village & inspiring great natural living, away from the maddening crowd.
I am so uplifted and assured that all things are possible when you have intentions to succeed.
I salute you African Sistar Queen, may your works continue to shine bright…..Ase👊🏾
This is wonderful ❤
Leaving in such a pure environment! Very healthy, organic. Love this.
Stay blessed
this is the most beautiful thing I've seen lately, in this world of negativity. real positive energy!
Selina hope and pray for you to own your own channel where you will help your community with the learning you get because you seem to be a girl who can upgrade your community and TH-cam will pay you, God will increase you as you train them. All the best as you take another step of your own channel
How very unique and inspiring. So thrilled you as a woman worked hard and used your education and hard work to create a place for the community that also teaches hard work and education. The idea of being sustainable in todays world is incredible. I admire you greatly. Thanks for sharing..
I love what she is doing and what she is aiming at achieving. I can’t wait to visit the place next time I travel to Kenya.
