"In this area, we solely depend on farming as the main source of livelihood. This region receives the lowest amount of rainfall in the entire county of Bomet. This is hurting us as every year we are left counting losses. In the year 2018, for instance, I managed to get only 2 sacks of maize from the 1.5 acres piece of land that I farm. This just a drop in the sea considering that I have 5 children to feed."

""Coming from a polygamous family and the only bread winner becomes a big challenge. I rely on burning charcoal this job is tiresome and earns me 400 shillings in a day.
