Turkana is a province situated in Northern Kenya. The group is called "Ngkamatak", who reside in the Loima location and number approximately 40,000. The Turkana region is semiarid with daytime temperatures in the 40 degrees plus Celsius on a cool day. People and animals are plagued with diseases due to lack of food and water. Survival is the theme of their lives.
