A The community at Kanjoo was formed when people were forced to migrate from congested, more developed settlements. It was an unsafe, undesirable area due to the lack of accessibility and amenities; no roads, no clean water, no schools, no electricity and no access to healthcare or hospitals. However, over time people from many different areas and tribes were forced to settle here. The village is located in the Meru District, one of the 47 counties of Kenya. It is in the Eastern province, on the outskirts of Meru National Park and close to Mount Kenya, Africa’s second highest mountain. It is home to around 3000 men, women and children and their main source of income is from Miraa farming. However life is still beset with challenges due to lack access to basic amenities.
