In Olopito village, Narok Central, the aroma of goat meat fills the air as a group of men gathers under an acacia tree, dressed in colourful Maasai shukas.
The laughter is loud, the teasing relentless and the bone soup—rich and savoury—keeps spirits high. However, this is not just a social gathering. Behind the light-hearted atmosphere lies a powerful mission: to get men talking about family planning.
Dubbed “goat-eating forums,” these quarterly male barazas are transforming how family planning is perceived and practised in rural Narok, where cultural and gender roles often limit women’s autonomy in reproductive health decisions.
