Halake rebuilds goat herd in Moyale as SRAPLEA 2 project sparks new hope

Severe drought devastated Moyale pastoralist communities between 2022 and 2023, forcing families like Galma Halake's to lose nearly all their livestock. The climate disaster eliminated 180 goats from Halake's original herd of 200 animals. Unemployed young men began raiding neighboring settlements after losing their traditional livelihood source. Violence erupted between the Gabra and Borana communities as desperation spread across multiple villages.

Welthungerhilfe launched the SRAPLEA 2 project through its partner organization, Pacida, to restore economic stability among affected pastoralists. Participants received four days of business training covering financial management and livestock care techniques. Each beneficiary obtained 30,000 Kenyan shillings to establish new enterprises after completing the program.

Halake purchased four pregnant goats and rebuilt his herd to 13 animals within months of receiving support. Fellow participant Galgalo Huka established a successful butchery business using his grant money. The initiative assisted 160 people across eight community groups, demonstrating effective recovery methods for climate-affected pastoralist regions.
