My name is Raon, I am 68 years old female, born and raised up in the northern region of Kenya to a nomadic family that fully depended on livestock as a source of livelihood. I spent my childhood herding as well helping with house chores. 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. In recent years, climate change has brought about very unpredictable weather. 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 was also diagnosed with chronic joint pains that require routine medical attention.
I am kindly appealing for your support so that I am able to afford medication, improve my nutrition and have a better life
