For the last eight years, Robert Asoyo has enjoyed bumper harvest of tomatoes and other crops, thanks to enough rains. He has always harvested enough for his own consumption and sold the surplus to neighbouring villages and beyond.

But today, Mr Asoyo is not a happy man. His farm and those belonging to more than 500 other villagers have been washed away by heavy rains that have pounded the area for the past three days.
