LIVING ON THE EDGE

Just returned from two assignments in Southern Ethiopia and North Eastern Kenya, where I photographed nomadic communities who have been affected by the recent droughts. The work was commissioned by Care International UK to launch their recent campaign "Living on the Edge" that addresses the issue of aid coming too late to assist people maintain their livelihoods in times of crisis.

In Ethiopia I was accompanied by Cahal Milmo, a journalist from the Independent in London. The story he wrote can be viewed at: http://www.careinternational.org.uk/Drought+in+Africa%3A+Ethiopia%27s+bitter+harvest+7928.twl
