Horn of Africa Crisis
24 August 2011, Kyuso - Most people in these arid and semi-arid parts of eastern Kenya survive by farming small plots of land and raising livestock. They depend on the rains to grow food; however, consecutive years of uneven rainfall means farmers have not had a decent harvest for several seasons, leaving them more food insecure and cash poor.
FAO is assisting vulnerable farmers in drought-prone eastern Kenya to terrace their fields and build water harvesting structures in time for the October 2011 short rains. Farmers are given a voucher in exchange for each day of work, half of which can be redeemed for food at select local traders, while the other half is used to buy building materials for the community sand dams.
