Kajiado County has experienced a trend ofย increased temperatures and unpredictable rainfall patternsย in recent years, leading to more frequent droughts and water scarcity.ย This has negatively impacted livelihoods, particularly for pastoralist communities, through livestock losses and increased human-wildlife conflict.ย 

To mitigate the above challenges, Kenya Good Neighbors established a well-fenced 5-acre demonstration farm where a number of activities such as planting of drought-resistant fruit trees, vegetables and drought-tolerant Juncao Grass have been carried out. Since its inception, the project has thrived, allowing the community to harvest vegetables and Juncao grass several times. The project aims to sensitize the community to embrace alternative farming methods to address climate change in the area.

Kitchen Gardens in Kajiado

One Man Who Planted Trees Project in Ngatataek-Kajiado County
Kajiado County is predominantly a semi-arid area, with livestock rearing as the main economic activity. Water shortage has been a challenge for a long time where the County receives low rainfall, meaning there is a prolonged dry season. Most rivers, dams, and springs are seasonal therefore when there is a prolonged dry season it has a direct impact on the local community. The County has previously suffered from severe droughts, which led to cattle losses and food shortages. With current climate change affecting the Country, weather conditions have been elastic for a long time and it is hard to predict the rainfall patterns or the dry seasons.
