More than 5,000 bunds dug and reseeded to make most of short rains!
When the rains arrive, it’s crucial to capture every last drop – making sure that nothing gets washed away over the dry, barren soil. Thanks to the commitment of 310 members of the Samburu community, more than 5,000 bunds were dug and reseeded in less than 2 months – just in time for the arrival of the short rains!
Behind the scenes – our tented Montessori School classrooms on the move!
