A recent journey through Kenya's drought-stricken North Eastern counties revealed widespread devastation, with communities grappling with extreme water scarcity, dying livestock, and escalating human-wildlife conflicts. The devastating drought has pushed the region past its breaking point, highlighting the severe impact of climate change on vulnerable populations.

• Over 3 million families are affected by the drought, facing dire conditions.
• The Kenyan government has pledged to spend Sh4 billion per month on food, water, and livestock feed.
• Goats that once fetched Sh15,000 are now selling for just Sh5,000 due to their weakened state.
• Residents in areas like Samburu report diseases from contaminated water, while others compete with wildlife for scarce resources from the Ewaso Nyiro river.
