Biography
James Ekai is a hardworking and humble young man. He is doing his best at Tarach Secondary school where he is currently joining 11th grade. James grew up shifting between his mother who is a drunkard and his grandmother who is very old and not capable of taking care of him. By God's grace a certain Pastor helped him finish primary school and join high school where we later took over. James trusts the Lord to be able to overcome every challenge and become a man of God, a man who helps others in his generation.
About James's Home: Turkana
Turkana County is a part of Northwestern Kenya located in the former Rift Valley province. Turkana is majorly arid and semi-arid, and the climate is very hot and dry making farming and supply of food a constant challenge. This county is also marginalized due to poor infrastructure. The main diet in these areas is not predictable since they rely majorly on relief food. The main language spoken is Turkana and the primary religion is traditional African beliefs. In recent years, both Christianity and Islam have also been competing for the hearts of the people here. *Because the people of Turkana county largely depend on livestock and relief food, they are still semi-nomadic and though the schools help create stability, there are still times when a family moves and we are unable to trace them.
