''The drought took all our livestock and forced us to live on selling firewood''

My name is Achuye, I live in Bede district of Borana zone in Ethiopia. My age is 37 and my husband is 52. We have nine children. As pastoralist, we used to have herds of camel and cattle but now we are left with only two oxen and two goats. Now we are living on aid from the government.
