Ethnic identity, resilience, and well-being: a study of female Maasai migrants.OBJECTIVES
 In recent years, Maasai men and women have migrated from their traditional rural villages to cities in Tanzania in growing numbers.  This study explores the experience of rural-to-urban migration among female Maasai migrants and how this experience affects ethnic identity, resilience, and well-being.


 Thirty-one female Maasai migrants were interviewed in Swahili, Maa, or English.  Migration-driving factors, specifically a desire for education (leading to permanent migrants) and a need to support one's family (resulting in circular migrants), influence how Maasai women adapt and respond to challenges in the city.  Increasing connections among female Maasai migrants might create a more resilient community leading to improved health.
