At only six years old, Senteiyo Kateiya has been left alone to bear the scars of a conflict she probably knows nothing about.

When all was quiet after the latest wave of attacks in Mukutani, Baringo South, Senteiyo's mother, brother and grandmother lay dead. Six years earlier, she had lost her father in a banditry attack.
