Over 170 households in both Katilu and Lokapel villages in Aroo Sub-County, Turkana County, have received 856 goats and sheep.
Each household received five goats in a move geared towards restoring them to the position they were in before the adversaries of insecurity, diseases and drought reduced their livestock. "I praise our government for this favour to most of us who almost had nothing.
I now have something to provide for my family.
I will take care of these animals until I become well-off like other people," Lobar Lokui, 30, a mother of three and one of the beneficiaries from Lokapel, said. "I have been a poor man after the neighbors drove away all my animals last year.
