Henry awaits rainfall in drier conditions than usual

The Story

The Story

65-year-old Henry has seen rainfall steadily decline over the years. Food security issues are intensifying, and he has had to change the crops he harvests so he is less dependent on rainfall. Agricultural technologies have allowed Henry to use considerably less water, and now he can even grow vegetables during the dry season. Changing weather patterns is not the only difficulty Henry faces, being disabled comes with its own pressures. The single father continually rises to the challenge, however, proudly supporting his two eldest children who are in university.
