CLEAN: Education on the go: teaching the Kenyan nomads

The video discusses the challenges faced by Kenya's nomadic communities in accessing education. Despite the implementation of free primary education, enrollment rates remain low due to factors like lack of infrastructure, harsh climate, and the nomadic lifestyle.
