Abstract:

To meet the rising demand for animal-based protein, conventional livestock may prove expensive as the current production system remains unsustainable. This calls for intervention research on alternative sources of protein, hence a switch to affordable and environmentally acceptable protein sources of which approximately 1,900 insect species are consumed worldwide. Alate termites have thus received considerations in this line for nutritional and economic benefits. Trading of alate termites is becoming a valuable source of income for many people in Vihiga county and other parts of western region

This study aimed to analyse the relationship between the Kaimosi Rural Service Programme’s (RSP) mission objectives and its activities in Vihiga Sub-county County (formerly Hamisi district). The contingency theory guided this study, which shows how factors interact in an interdependent manner to produce either positive or negative results. The analysis adopted a descriptive survey research design where the relationship between the NGO’s mission objectives and its activities was investigated.

Abstract:

This paper is a product of a study that was carried out examining the errors learners make when learning the English article system in secondary schools, conducted in Vihiga County, Western Kenya. The need to carry out the study arose from two main interests: one, the growing concern by various researchers that the English article is one of the elements of grammar that causes difficulties for the learners of English as a Second Language (SL) resulting on wrong uses by learners; and two, the fact that performance in English as a subject in national examinations has been dismal as reflected in V

Abstract:

Communication is an essential aspect of life. Language forms the basis of communication. Communication adjustment refers to the shift in speech style depending on the interlocutors and context for better understanding. Children with mental disabilities suffer from retardation in respect to normal growth especially in their cognitive capacities. Consequently; they suffer from speech and language problems that lead to ineffective communication. They are therefore discriminated. It is in this view that the study analyzed communicative adjustment activities used to enhance speech production and us

Sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) which account for 8% of Kenya’s non-communicable disease (NCD) burden. Prevalence of physical inactivity remains high globally. There is paucity of data on physical activity levels in rural Sub-Saharan Africa to inform effective interventions. This study sought to establish levels and factors associated with physical activity in a rural population in Kenya. This was a cross-sectional study in Vihiga, a predominantly rural County in Kenya.

Abstract:

Traditional ethnic groups in Kenya are unlikely to eat a healthy and diversified diet due to many individual and environmental factors, which may result in poor health status. Therefore, the determinants of eating behavior need to be identified prior to any public health action. For this study, focus group discussions (15 in total) in a double-layer design were conducted, comprising adult men and women from 5 villages of Vihiga County. Questions explored knowledge; barriers and cues to action toward eating a healthy diet containing a variety of foods; including indigenous food species. We foun
