Abstract
Kenya is a country in the sub-Saharan Africa with many people struggling with the lack of some basic life necessities. Relevant policies need to be implemented to remedy the situation. Social protection is one of the ways that can be used to reduce the level of poverty through predictable transfers of food, cash, inputs and assets. This study looks into a case study which can show how the social protection can improve the livelihoods of the poor. This was done with reference to other similar or related studies previously done. It was a purposive survey in which random sampling was used to obtain a sample of 60 households. The data was collected using questionnaires and analysis was done using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) V. 20. Both qualitative and quantitative data were considered in the study and was expected to shed more light on effective use of social protection.
