Longido District is one of pastoral districts in Tanzania, formerly part of the Monduli District in 2005. Longido is a pastoralist area mainly occupied by the Maasai Community. The Maasai came to the area about 5 centuries ago from the north, crossing through Kenya and settling in the area where there were natural water springs, flowing rivers and a lot of grass for pasture. However, during drought periods, they migrated to a variety of areas in search of pasture for their livestock.LOOCIP is thus a registered charitable, not for profit, community-based organization (CBO). Its main purpose is to strengthen the Maasai community, alleviating its poverty and marginalization. In other words, LOOCIP is targeting to build a community that is educated, healthy, and food-secured, with access to sustainable clean and safe water, stable income and living in peace and harmony under good leadership, respecting gender and human rights.
