My Maasai Name is Nemparnat: A Memoir of My First Three Years in Kenya

Heidi Totten had no idea what she was getting herself into when she succumbed to peer pressure and got on a plane to go to Kenya, Africa in March 2015. A series of small and life-altering experiences changed the trajectory of the rest of her life.

A few months later, on Sunday, July 12, 2015, she got out of the shower and heard a voice that said, "Go start a group on Facebook called 100 Humanitarians. I'll let you know why." Six years later, she has taken over 200 people to Kenya on several expeditions each year, and her organization has helped hundreds of families with economic development and self-reliance.

This book is her "How to be a humanitarian and create your Promise Legacy Project." It includes some of her most personal spiritual experiences that kept her going back to Kenya when she wanted to give up. It's a journey of extreme and radical faith, love, and friendship. And overcoming a crap ton of opposition that she mostly brought on myself. And a crap ton of miracles.

Her question to you is, "Do you want to go to Kenya?"

About 100 Humanitarians International

What is the power of 100 people working together on any project in the world to create positive change?

We are a community of entrepreneurs, small businesses, and individuals around the world collaborating to create opportunities, both locally and internationally, for self-reliance, education, and economic development. We are committed to sustainable projects that support communities, and preserve the culture of indigenous tribes.

One of our major objectives is to help prevent human trafficking within families by eradicating the practice of Female Genital Mutilation and Early Marriage.

Our Mission

"To mentor families globally through education and entrepreneurship in an effort to eliminate physical, mental, spiritual and emotional poverty, while preserving culture and tradition."

Families in Kenya don't need a handout, they need a hand up. We go a bit deeper by joining hands and teaching each other. We teach families how to leverage their resources through economic development and self-reliance. They teach us about love, gratitude, simplicity, and joy.

If you arrived here, it's because you were led here. You know that the best personal development is found when serving others. Our expeditions will take you deep into the heart of the Maasai Mara in Kenya, and you will experience two years of personal development in two weeks. Are you ready?
