The ward system in Kenya represents the smallest administrative unit in the country's devolved government structure, with Sankuri being one of several wards that constitute the Balambala constituency. This region is primarily inhabited by pastoralist communities, particularly the Somali ethnic group, who have adapted their livelihoods to the challenging environmental conditions through nomadic and semi-nomadic livestock rearing. The area's economy revolves around livestock production, with camels, goats, and cattle forming the backbone of local subsistence and trade. For residents and businesses seeking to navigate local services and administrative functions, accessing accurate postal code information for Sankuri's various sub-locations and settlements is essential for effective communication and service delivery within this remote but important part of Kenya's northeastern frontier.
