KEEPERS OF THE ARROWS
From a young age Mbogoshi learned the intricate art of arrow making from his father. “For a Hadzabe man, arrows are a source of life”. Arrows not only provide sustenance for the Hadzabe but are an integral part of their traditions and customs, and every hunter carries his arrows with him whenever he moves.

Faced with the potential of food shortages and his disappearing culture, Mbogashi is determined to pass on his skills and values to the younger generations and inspire them to preserve this harmonious way of life for as long as possible.

The Sorghum Sisters
For years, Turkana County has been prominently featured in mainstream media, often depicted through narratives of hunger, poverty, and dependency on aid. While these issues are partially true, they don't tell the whole story. The Sorghum Sisters offer a more positive narrative, highlighting a group of Turkana women who, despite the adverse effects of climate change, are demonstrating resilience by working together to farm sorghum—a climate-resilient crop. Their efforts are rewriting the narrative of food sovereignty in the villages of Kalobeyei, showcasing the strength and determination of the community.
