My name is Pukasha, a 80 years old man born and raised In the northern parts of Kenya to a nomadic family which moved in search of water and pasture for their animals . I spent my childhood herding and didnt get a chance to obtain formal education. I later got initiated into young adulthood where i was expected to protect the community as well herd cattle.
I later married and had a great family. Our community depends on livestock for a living but due to climate change things have changed. The recent prolonged drought wiped out all my livestock and I am now left with nothing to depend on. With my advanced age, securing manual jobs is almost impossible. I was recently diagnosed with prostate illness and I've got to use a catheter to pass urine making my life a real struggle.
I am kindly appealing for your support so that I can access healthcare, improve my nutrition and have a better life.
