The fate of the more than 1,500 residents displaced by landslides in West Pokot County remains unclear, even as schools reopen next week. 

In November, the area was struck by a series of landslides that killed more than 40 people and forced hundreds of survivors out of what was once their homes. The survivors ended up in three primary schools.
