Description

Shamsedin Afen, 20, lives with his parents, sister and three brothers in drought-hit Hindeysa village, where Oxfam has built a new borehole to provide water:

“We cultivate the land, growing maize and sorghum, and keep livestock. We have forty sheep, goats and cows."

But, their crops failing without rain, the family are relying on the food they stored from last year to see them through. Their animals are not so lucky. “We couldn’t cultivate enough forage this year to feed them – we’ve lost thirteen sheep and goats.”

Before the borehole it took the family six hours a day to collect water from another village.

8,000 people will benefit from the borehole. Shamsedin says: “A better life will come. This will benefit both the people and the animals – not only here, but also in the surrounding communities.”
