For more than five decades, a group of elders have known Ndunguni village in Makima, Mbeere South in Embu County as their only home.
Never did they anticipate that one day they would be homeless.
But a week ago, the elders together with hundreds of residents found themselves at Ndunguni Primary School as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) after their homes were demolished.
The demolitions by Tana and Athi River Development Authority (Tarda) has created a humanitarian crisis. Several organisations are in the process of doing rapid assessment to ascertain the needs at the school that has been converted to an IDP camp.
