Consider giving monthly to provide communities in need with consistent and enduring solutions.
Hello, my name is Tungayo.
I am an 84-year-old woman from northern Kenya. I come from a nomadic family that migrates in search of water and pasture for our livestock. Unfortunately, due to climate change-induced droughts, our economic situation has significantly worsened. We recently experienced a severe drought that wiped out all our livestock, leading to tough economic times.
As a child, I spent my days herding our family's livestock and never had the opportunity to obtain a formal education. By the time I was a young adult, I was married to a suitor chosen by my family. Since then, I have spent my life raising my children, taking care of my husband, and rearing our livestock.
Our community and family rely heavily on our livestock as a primary source of livelihood. However, due to my advanced age, I am unable to rely on manual labor, which makes life difficult. Therefore, I am kindly appealing to well-wishers for support in the form of capacity building on climate-smart agriculture, livestock restocking, and insurance premiums for a basic health insurance. This support will enable my family and me to access improved food security, better healthcare, and ultimately improve the quality of my life.
