My husband and I plans to establish an housing structure worth KES 50000 for our family members of 12 . Currently we all sleep in a tent which makes life so difficult because there is no privacy and the place is so small to comfortably accommodate all of my children. We will also spend KES 20000 to buy 4 goats so that they can sustain our lives in the future.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The stable state of my mind and the good health of my 12 family members has brought happiness into my life.The fact that we all survived without any injury amidst the clashes gives me strength and hope to still forge ahead in life.Although we cannot afford the essential needs of everyday life such as all meals a day and good shelter ,the absence of gunshots sounds and screams in this environment gives me peace and joy.I can now plan and think about the future of my family.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
Financial instability is the greatest challenge am currently facing.The economic activity we depended on has deteriorated due to changes in environmental and the climatical conditions. My family's life took a u turn from the month of February 2024 when we fled our home due to tribal clashes, we lost more than 20 goats to the pokots and 17 more died in this area due to drought.Our life has therefore been a struggle for the past 7 months because goat rearing which is our main source of livelihood has been affected by both drought and insecurity.Currently my family cannot afford to meet the basic needs such as food , clothing,good shelter and school fees which we would initially afford comfortably at our homeland Kosile.
