How the impact of extreme weather that forced tens of thousands of Kenyan pastoralists out of their nomadic lives is now challenging their newly found livelihoods
On a recent hot and humid midday in Garissa town, 50-year-old Habiba Mohamed Hassan made a routine monitoring check on her farm in the outskirts of the town in northeastern Kenya.
Like many other pastoralists in the semi-arid region, she moved to the town, joined local farmers and began growing crops along the banks of the Tana River, which is the longest in Kenya, stretching over 620 miles. When Hassan first began farming, she used to make a profit of about 100,000 Kenyan Shillings on a good harvest but “that is not possible now".“I have not had any substantial harvest in the last two years. Our lives depend on Tana River, it is like the heart that pumps blood to the rest of the body but every time it floods we lose our main source of income.
