For years, residents of Ndeiya, a semi-arid area that straddles Kikuyu and Limuru sub-counties in Kiambu County, often relied on relief food from the national and county government as well as well-wishers.

The story is the same for Ngoliba and Gatuanyaga areas in Thika West, another semi-arid block in the county that has also been grappling with famine due to poor harvests and the unavailability of quality farm inputs and harsh climate.
