Climate Crisis in Somalia

Recurring drought and erratic rain patterns mean that many pastoralist families in Somalia have lost their livestock and therefore, their livelihoods. As a result, increasing numbers are moving to towns and cities to look for work, some joining those already displaced by civil war, in sprawling camps. 

I documented the experiences of children displaced by Somalia's climate emergency, as they adjusted to a new and uncertain life. Some worried for the welfare of their malnourished younger siblings, others mourned their nomadic culture, and many dreamed of an education and a brighter future for their families.
