Even the crocodiles can’t stop her, she swears to keep diving to save lives

Diver Sundra Kipchumba at Kerio river.

Sandra Kipchumba stands on the edge of a rock in Cheploch gorge, Baringo County. A group of tourists are watching her from a distance, too scared to edge towards the slippery gorge, lest they fall in.

Beneath her is the deep Kerio River. She bites her lower lip, bends to look into the river, as if inspecting it. She is getting ready for the main action. She squints, rubs her feet on the slippery stones, and steadies herself.
