What is migration for you?
Migration is moving from one place to another for many reasons. It can be insecurity, change of home, looking for greener pastures or even a new job. Migration can have a negative impact to one’s life because he/she has to look for survival tactics. For example, our family migrated from Samburu County and we started struggling because we didn’t have a way of getting food.
