For years, communities in arid regions have struggled with hunger and relied on donations to survive. However, a group of volunteers led by Mission Relief Africa are slowly changing the narrative using water pans and boreholes.

Mission Relief Africa Coordinator Mohamed Rafik says they have farms in Bamba and Ukunda in Kilifi County, Mandera, Garissa and Garsen and the communities have begun to realise they can grow and harvest crops without depending on donations.
