We are delighted to announce that our condom awareness and information leaflet is now available in Ketemi, the language of the Batemi people (also know as the Sonjo). The Batemi live in northern Tanzania 30-40 miles west of Lake Natron, and number approximately 30,000 people. They have lived for centuries as an isolated enclave in Maasai territory. The leaflet is available to download free from our literature page, where Maasai, Swahili and English versions can also be found.

During 2010 we plan to print and deliver 10,000 copies of our new Ketemi version, along with 30,000 of the Maasai version and 7,000 in Swahili.
