More than 2,000 children from more than 10 primary schools and a secondary school in Baringo South are out of school, due to persistent cattle raids.

The schools remain closed and villages de?serted as raiders make the area inhabitable. So bad is the situation that classrooms have been vandalised and some converted into cattle bomas for stolen animals.
