Who they are
The Wardei are a pastoral community living predominantly in eastern Kenya, with historical ties that bridge Oromo and Somali traditions. Over generations, they adopted the Somali language and consolidated their identity around livestock herding and the Islamic faith. They inhabit semi-arid regions where family and community bonds are vital for survival.
