Description

It’s unusual to find green leaves in Turkana, but in the village of Kaaleng, several family gardens are beginning to thrive. The village, which is supplied with water thanks to the solar-powered energy pump installed by Oxfam, has fertile soil and several of its residents, such as Benson Kore, have begun to grow vegetables. Corn, tomatoes, onions, and other vegetables grow on a few square meters of soil that Benson cultivates with great care. He is assisted in this by his children and by those of his sister, since, given the seriousness of the crisis, the family has had to pull together in order to confront the loss of the livestock upon which they once depended. Benson still has five goats left, and they subsist on the waste materials from his vegetable garden.
