Hunger is a constant threat in Kenya’s arid north. Families struggle to get through the cyclical droughts that erode their meagre assets, leaving them worse off with every shock. With the support of the Government and development partners, communities in Turkana county are taking a lead in planning and implementing activities that are fighting the impacts of droughts and improving food and nutrition security. Through the asset creation (food or cash) projects, the World Food Programme is supporting communities to build or repair productive assets, one of them being small irrigation schemes.
