7 ways that changed communties
Passion fruit farming is quickly
becoming the jewel of Lessos,
outshining traditional crops
such as maize and tea. More
than 700 farmers have embraced
the new crop and the
number is growing. Pg. 3-6
In the sleepy Orinie village, Kajiado
Central, about 150km south of
Nairobi, pastoralists have become
smarter — they are making hay, literally,
as the sun shines. Pg. 7 -9
Grace Seneiya has three awards
under her belt and boasts a
strong family. But above all, she
has managed to save over 500
disabled people in Samburu in
the last 10 years, some from
ostracisation and others from
death. Pg. 10-14
The camel - long fabled as the ship
of the desert - may not be your idea
of turning conservative women to
some financial independence. Just
consider that the camel is clumsy,
not so good looking and is seemingly
in a constant mourning mode.
Pg. 15-17
In the sunburnt Asilong
Village in West Pokot, the
source of excitement is from
the most unlikely gadget – a
little green XO laptop that a
local primary school is using
to complement teaching.
Pg. 18-21
Parents in Samburu County
are increasingly being
sensitised on education
issues. Today, they troop
to classes and seminars in
their hundreds in a bid to
understand the dynamics of
education...Pg. 22-24
In Kajiado County the thin
line between life and death,
or success and failure in
schools has been identified
– washing one’s hands. Pg.
25-28
