Members of over one hundred groups in Marsabit County have a reason to smile after they received facilitation from the government, to enable them engage in income generating activities.
Marsabit Woman Representative, Naomi Waqo, expressed concern that the problem of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and drug abuse, was still prevalent in the region despite concerted efforts to end it.
Ms Waqo who presided over the presentation of the tools in all the four constituencies of Moyale, Saku, Laisamis and North Horr, noted that the beneficiaries who include needy men, women, youth and People with Disabilities, were deliberately being equipped to earn a decent living.
The tools that comprises of 100 tents and 6,000 chairs that the beneficiaries would use to rent out to individuals and organizations holding functions such as meetings, weddings and celebrations, were donated through the National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAAF).
