The other side of Turkana where residents have plenty of food

Farmers at Katilu Irrigation Scheme in Lokichar sub-county of Turkana harvesting fruits and vegetables from the model farm.. Despite being pastoralists, a section of theTurkana community is now using Turkwel river to irrigate land for maize, fruit and vegetable farming to enrich their diet and also earn money by selling some. This has reduced hunger in the region.[Photo taken on 17/11/2016 By Patrick Alushula]

The scorching sun was already overhead by the time the 170 kilometre morning journey from Lodwar town to Katilu in Turkana County was over. And the car broke down three times.

We had to defy the three century-old badly worn out road; sometimes disappearing completely or just leaving thickness of up to just two footsteps of a middle-aged Turkana man.
