Hi, I am Ankesi!

Laikipia, Kenya

Consider giving monthly to provide communities in need with consistent and enduring solutions.

My name is Ankesi, a 60-year-old woman born and raised in the northern region of Kenya to a nomadic family that kept moving in search of pasture and water. I spent my childhood herding our animals and never had the chance to obtain formal education.

I was later initiated into young adulthood in my teenage years and was married off immediately. I spent my life raising my children and taking care of my husband. Our community fully depended on livestock as a primary source of livelihood, but due to climate change, things have changed. We recently experienced a severe drought that wiped out all our livestock, leading to tough economic times.

I now rely on very scarce manual jobs to put food on the table. I am kindly appealing for support from well-wishers so that I can access healthcare, establish a small income-generating activity, and improve the quality of life for myself and my family.
