    Banditry has for decades deprived communities in Kerio Valley of lives, livelihoods and opportunities, trapping many young morans in cycles of violence and revenge attacks. But amid the insecurity, one inspiring story is rewriting that narrative. Mathew Letua, who grew up in the banditry-prone region, has overcome immense challenges to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Tufts University in Boston, United States. His remarkable journey is now inspiring pastoralist communities to embrace education as a pathway to peace, opportunity and a brighter future. Citizen TV’s Bonface Barasa tells the story of resilience, determination and hope.
