The short story of a woman and her husband living in a shanty somewhere in Baringo, Kenya was the VOA's focus on World Climate Emergency Day. They had lived in the house since being displaced by floods in 2013.

Though unmentioned in the story by Victoria Amunga, it was evident that Sote Lokotos was visually impaired and physically challenged. Her husband's right eye also seemed to have a cataract. He, too, limped, due to old age.
