My name is Nemuta, I was born and raised in Narok County, Kenya to a nomadic family. Nomadic pastoral communities keep migrating in search of water and
pasture for human and livestock consumption. I spent my childhood herding
my family’s livestock and therefore never had a chance to obtain formal
education 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 raising
my children and taking care of my husband. Making ends meet has become a struggle in the 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 form of;
capacity building on climate-smart agriculture or set up a small but sustainable livelihood income generating activity like chicken rearing in order 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.
