My name is Sipitei, I was born and raised in Narok County, Kenya to a nomadic family. Nomadic pastoral communities keep migrating in search of water andpasture for human and livestock consumption. I spent my childhood herdingmy family’s livestock and therefore never had a chance to obtain formaleducation that comes with diversified employable skills.
At the end of my teenage age, I got initiated into young adulthood and shortly after got married
off to a suitor chosen by my family.The rest of my life has been spent raisingmy children and taking care of my husband. Making ends meet has become a struggle in recent days due to the high cost of living and climate change which has made farming an unreliable source of income.
I am therefore kindly appealing for support from well-wishers in the form of;
capacity building on climate-smart agriculture or setting up a small but sustainable livelihood income-generating activity like chicken rearing for me to be able to provide for my family.This support will enable my family and I to access; improved food security and
nutrition and much-needed healthcare, and hence improve the quality of my
life.
