Director: IRIN | Producer: IRIN
Focus Years: 2008 | Country: Kenya
Synopsis:
In the arid farmlands of eastern Kenya, a German NGO has been helping communities to harvest rain. Using the occasional rock features that interrupt the otherwise flat landscape, they are building simple reservoirs to catch rainwater as it runs down the rock face. The collected water is then sold for a token price. Some communities have invested in the stock market. In Chokwe district, however, the Red Cross is teaching people to build grain silos in the trees to keep seeds safe when floods strike. As the Poznan Climate Change conference enters its final days, IRIN, with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) launched eight short videos exploring the human cost of climate change in Africa.
