Kenya - Devastating Drought

By end of April 2015, I did not see any sign of rain – a lion’s roar or a hyena’s noise at sunrise were all missing and everything went quiet on the land except for the hot scorching sun that had already dried up all the grass, shrubs and trees. I knew a devastating drought was ahead.

My wife left home at 3:00AM with her donkeys to fetch water about 10 kilometers away each day, and returned home later in the afternoon.
