For decades, residents of Kajukjuk in Turkana North have been ravaged by droughts and famines leaving them dependent on relief food from the Government and well-wishers.

With the help of county government and GIZ, a German development agency, over 300 households at the Kajukjuk Irrigation Scheme have a reason to smile as they can now produce food crops to sustain their families.
