The Global Heartache No community with a sense of justice, compassion or respect for basic human

rights should accept the current pattern of adaptation. Leaving the world’s poor to

sink or swim with their own meagre resources in the face of the threat posed by climate change is morally wrong. We are drifting into a world of ‘adaptation

apartheid’.Desmond Tutu

IPCCIntergovernmental

Panel on Climate Change, Working Group II, estimated that between 75 and 250 million people in Africa alone will be under food and water stress by 2020

Too Much H2ONathifa Janaa cradled her feverish son in the

shade of an acacia tree, looking to the skies that for the last six weeks have brought driving rain and floods to the village of Kumahumato in remote northeastern Kenya.

"I have no food left in the house to feed my family. If my neighbours have nothing to offer then there is just water to drink," said Janaa, rubbing three-year-old Mohammed's malnourished stomach as she awaited the arrival of emergency food rations.

Not Enough H2OSomalia is one of the

countries worst affected by a

drought which has hit the Horn of

Africa, leaving some 11.5 million people in need of food aid.

A Daily Issue: DrinkingThis family in

Our Kenya Case Study34 million souls144 kilowatt

hours per year! The best I have

had is 270/monthMostly in Nairobi

& touristsLess than 5% of

rural residents

Kikuyu village just outside Nyeri Roughly 150 homes Subsistence

agriculture and growing coffee and corn for export.

The traditional crops of millet, peas and sorghum are still grown.

100 Kilowatt Wind Turbine Is Dropped Into Our Village

This turbine will be a highly advanced collection of technology with various co-generation aspects and co-consumption uses.

Punch line to come!

Organization has estimated that indoor air pollution is responsible for 1.6 million deaths a year as people use “dung, wood, crop waste and coal” for their essential energy source.

Women peer inside structure containing grinding mill purchased with SSH funds. It will allow them to use their time for other important tasks, including child care and engaging in income-generating activities

These products will generate revenue for them that will help maintain the mill and fund further community development projects.

Watching over the unloading, village elder Abdi Dubat, 57, reminisced about his lost wealth and pride. His once 500-strong herd of cattle, sheep and camels funded his 10 marriages, children's education, even a pilgrimage to Mecca, before consecutive droughts wiped out his herd."The women would see my wealth and shout 'Come and marry me Abdi Dubat'. Now they just run away," he said laughing at himself.
