These adaptive characteristics and physical features have come in handy for a novel transport system that ferries medical supplies and personnel to remote villages and underserved communities in Kenya.

In this September 2016 dissertation, Loren Kock from the University of London examines views from the Samburu tribe in Kenya, on family planning programmes that relate family size to the environment.
This paper highlights some present outcomes as a result of  CHAT’s Population Health and Environment (PHE) intervention in Samburu East; and also includes a focus on  men’s  engagement and understanding about CHAT’s integrated family planning/ecological awareness intervention and it’s affect, if any,  in this region.
