Team Lioness ranger, Alphine | Balancing family life with a fulfilling but demanding career

Meet Alphine Nankuo Tulito, a member of IFAW’s Team Lioness. Team Lioness is composed of women community wildlife rangers - the first women in Amboseli, Kenya to take up this physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding job in the highly patriarchal Maasai community.
Like most of the Team Lioness rangers, Alphine is married and has children. The rangers are separated from their families for weeks at a time while stationed at their base, and this becomes a huge obstacle for nursing mothers like Alphine. That’s why in 2022, IFAW, thanks to support from Margarete Brauer Stiftung, renovated their ranger base at Risa, Amboseli to make it more family-friendly. Having the ability to now care for their children at the base has gone a long way to helping them balance family life with a fulfilling but demanding career.
Alphine is a role model for young women in Kenya and she hopes to inspire women and girls from her local community to push boundaries and chase their dreams.
