I am a graduate student undertaking Masters of Environmental studies(Climate change and Environmental sustainability). I have dedicated interests in environmental conservation always looking forward to assisting communities derive sustainable livelihoods from natural resources without compromising the integrity of ecosystems services. I have my Bachelor degree in Environmental studies (sciences)from Kenyatta University in year 2005. Since then I have worked with WWF Kenya in implementing environmental projects that entails natural resources conservation, community livelihoods improvement and economic development. While working I realized the challenges the small scale farmers are undergoing due to increased unpredictability of the weather in the area and I felt the need to further my studies in the area of climate change and environmental sustainability. I chose to undertake practical research assessing the impacts of climate change and variability on small scale farmers of a section of the community groups I was working with so that I can understand the level of vulnerability and assist in developing adaptive measures useful to the farmers.
