Tabitha is a calm young girl who comes from the northern part of Kenya, Turkana county. She lives with her mother, father, three brothers and five sisters. The family lives in a palm thatched mud house in a communal land. they fetch water from a community hand pump which is saline and scarce as it is depended upon by many households in the community as the main source of water. The family depends on basketry and bead making as the main source of economic sustenance. However, the annual income generated from this economic activity is below 360 US dollars which is not enough to support family basic needs. Her mother therefore decided to approach the office seeking for further assistance. Tabitha is enrolled in a nearby school and she likes coloring and numbers. She also likes playing with improvised toy dolls and shakers. Her parents would like her to grow up healthy and become an air hostess in future. She helps her parent in doing light house hold chores. Your support will bring a lasting change to her life and the family at large.
