How do you farm well when every drop of water counts?
In Kenya, on assignment for GIZ and UK aid, I photographed and filmed people who have found the answers. The aim was to document successful ways of saving and using water in water-scarce areas, together with journalist and writer Jim Daniell, whom I worked with across Africa for almost two years.
We met tea farmer Johnstone Terer, and teacher Josphat Macharia, whose small farm is a model for “water-friendly farming.” We also met Teresa Christopher, who learned these methods and now trains others in them.
What stayed with me was the ingenuity: hard work combined with new ideas, and a way of thinking about the whole circle of life on the farm.
Working on a story that matters? I photograph and film for NGOs and development organisations around the world. Get in touch.
