Ndolok Kitiliya

Ndolok Kitiliya lives in the most incredibly beautiful, but dry, Nasera area and is the Regional Coordinator for the Ilchokuti across to and including Ndutu. In the dry season there is plenty of conflict in this area and Ndolok is always busy. He’s highly valued for his skills at treating wounded livestock (he treats the most animals almost every month!), at coaching new Ilchokuti in literacy and the complicated task of filling in the monthly datasheets, and for his strategic thinking and intelligent insights.
