What is TIRRIM?

The Northern part of the Kenya is a desert region and one of the poorest and least developed regions in Kenya. It’s almost impossible for the population to have a stable income by farming. Most of the ethnic groups live a half nomadic lifestyle living mainly on animal breeding. 

Because the region has few resources, the Kenyan Government invests very little money in the development of the Marsabit County. The young people have little hope for a successful life staying in this county. Most of them try to build up a life in the cities – far from their roots and home. 

Northern Kenya is a large area of Kenya that has few all season roads, relatively dismal phone connections, and many illiterate people. The living is harsh, but people are beginning to hunger and hope for education and ways to initiate self-improvement.
