Abstract
Progress has a universal meaning yet unique to the need of various people of the
world. Kenya like any other contemporary society undergoes many changes from
all aspects of life, that is economical, political, social, cultural and religious
changes. All these affect women in every society, as they are the sole
transformation of values in the society. Women who form half of the world's
population have been left behind in all these changes particularly Samburu
women. "As it is reported out in the Oxfarrn report women are subjected to
multiple forms of deprivation from cradle to the grave" (Oxfarm Report, page 26).
And As Randford says: 'This is a new job for those in the world who do two -
thirds of the total hours of work, receive only 10% of the pay and own less than
1% of the world's property" Radford Pg. 26. Many women in Kenya have been
struggling for their survival, and more so of the women who live in semi-arid and
arid areas of Kenya. Most of them are illiterate and are unskilled. The Samburu
and Turkana people who depend entirely on their livestock as a means of
livelihood find it very hard when the entire flock is swept away by drought,
banditry and disease. This makes it even harder for women and children as there
is no alternative. In my two months attachment experience among these people
in Oldonyiro, I learnt how they are trying to cope with life and how they are
seeking alternatives by creating development programmes that would cater for
their needs. The women programme in Oldonyiro parish where I worked for two
months, the women are empowered with skills whereby they are helped to help
1
themselves thus changing their situations and leading better lives. Working
directly with these women for two months was an eye opener for I learnt a lot
about how a project is initiated and managed.
In this project evaluation I shall look at the nature and background, the history of
Oldonyiro Parish, the purpose and objectives of the women programme. I shall
look at too on how the women of this parish benefit from other programmes that
are initiated by the parish but not directly for them. I shall look at the whole
organization of the women programme, the staff, the financial analysis, the
budget, the long and short term strategies. Finally I shall look at the strengths
and weakness of the programme and in my conclusion give recommendations.
