Key Causes for Building a Better World for Pastoral Communities
“ The mobile clinic has been a blessing for our community. We no longer have to travel long distances for basic medical care. The healthcare workers are knowledgeable and compassionate, and they have taught us so much about staying healthy. My newborn daughter received her vaccinations on time, thanks to their efforts.”
- Ahmed, a pastoralist from Northern Kenya"The establishment of mobile schools has been beneficial as our children have been able to enroll and attend school regularly even as we migrate and involve ourselves in livestock tending activities. Children gain writing, reading and numeracy skills which are important for day-to-day life, fueling their desire to continue learning with the hope of securing opportunities presented by education to complement pastoralism for a brighter future. Thanks for making education accessible."
