The Context

The North Eastern Province, which is the third largest province in Kenya, faces a serious problem of water and food supplies, as the climate is semi-arid and hot. Characterised by sporadic rain falls, which are often infrequent, the hot temperatures and extreme evaporation make the region a base for nomadic pastoralist.

Apart from a few tributaries of the Jubba River, there is significantly no presence of rivers in the region. The severe drought, a resultant effect of climate change has further compounded the problem as villages now faces severe hunger and water scarcity.
