Climate change drops dams levels fishermen flee
Water levels at the Kiambere Dam in Eastern Kenya have gone down so much (following climatic change) that many of those in this tiny fishing community cannot survive on the dwindling fish catch. Many have moved on but Nancy Matendechere from Busia has stayed put. Here she arranges fish on the traditional drier before firing it up to dry the tiny tilapia fish. The fish will then be transported to various towns throughout Kenya where they will be sold for Ksh 20 per pair (Usd 20 cents). Photo/George Mulala
