It is a sweltering afternoon in Maungu and herds of livestock are still lazing about in their make-shift kraals. Ordinarily, the animals would be out grazing in the fields.

Drought in Maungu and and other areas of Taita Taveta County where livestock-rearing is the main economic activity in the vast lowlands has made residents to think out of the box.
