My name is Njampi, I am a 67-year-old female, born and raised up in the northern region of Kenya to a family that practiced mixed farming for a living. I spent my childhood herding as well helping out on the farm. I never got a chance to obtain a formal education. I was initiated in my teenage and then married off immediately.
I spent the rest of my life raising my family until the demise of my husband a few years ago. We depended on livestock for a living until recently when we experienced a severe drought that swept away all my livestock.
I now mostly depend on scarce casual jobs in order to put food on the table. I also experience frequent joint illness that requires constant medication and sometimes it is impossible for me to take up any manual jobs.
I am kindly appealing for your support so that I am able to afford medication, improve nutrition, and improve the quality of my life.
