[allAfrica] Nairobi -Launched in 2014, Natiira Ateni Self Help Group is located in Turkana County, more than 700 kilometres north of Nairobi, Kenya's capital. Natiira Ateni is a phrase in the Turkana language, which means "a place of many acacia trees". As the name suggests, the area is semi-arid, with an alluvial sand and clay soil terrain, where survival is often precarious.
