  1. Piga Climate PichaPhoto Competition Entries September 2010

  2. WINNER: Turkana North girls searching for precious gold called water Hezbourne Ouma Ong'elleh

  3. RUNNER UP: The camel is "the desert ship". We learnt in History that it was used in the Trans Saharan Trade - crossing the mighty Sahara desert, but here in Samburu, during the recent drought 2009, "the desert ship" succumbed! Abdikadir Ismail

  4. SHORTLISTED: This sandy dry river bed or lugga has not seen any water for months as evidenced by the trash that has accumulated by the roadside in the border town of Mandera in north eastern Kenya near Somalia and Ethiopia. Successive years of crippling drought brought about by climate change has greatly affected the already meagre water sources of the pastoralist Somalis. Marlene C. Francia

  5. SHORTLISTED: Mount Kenya. There is snow to be seen at the top, which is impressive for a mountain on the Equator. Despite that, people who have lived with the mountain longer than I have say that all of the rocky parts in the picture should be white. Estimate is that 15-20 years from now there will be no snow at all. Bart Starmans

  6. Hurri hills rangeland in upper eastern province of Kenya. Previously a reliable grazing area evenduring severe drought but now not able to support livestock in normal periods. Francis Murambi Sikolia

  7. Dry River Thika 2009. One of the biggest rivers that feeds into River Tana and into the Indian Ocean. A dry rivers means no water for communities living around it. Isaiah Kipyegon T.

  8. Climate Action: Thousands of Kenyan youth have been speaking out and mobilizing on climate change. Youth action on climate is a growing movement on climate justice and leadership all over the world! Isaiah Kipyegon T.

  9. Communities in Mwingi, Eastern Kenya, braved the scorching sun to tell their stories about how climate change is affecting them. Hardest of all was the fact that it had not rained for five years. Isaiah Kipyegon T.

  10. This is a photo taken last year in northern Tanzania during the drought. All the livestock were being driven to this river for watering and you could see them coming from quite far away with all the dust. Katharine Cross

  11. The almost dry Mara River. The wildebeest were waiting for the right time to cross from Serengeti National Park, Tanzania to Maasai Mara National Park, Kenya. Marufelia Pere-ira Dagondon

  12. The Snow Cap of Mount Kilimanjaro. Shazaad Kasmani

  13. Women and children are often the most vulnerable to hunger, especially in drought-stricken and increasingly arid lands in Kenya like the border town of Mandera near Somalia and Ethiopia. Successive years of crippling drought brought about by climate change has burdened food and water supplies for the pastoralist Somalis of Mandera. This Somali woman's older daughter, Fatima, has been classified as severely malnourished and was under a therapeutic feeding program at the local community hospital. Her younger sister was fortunate enough to breastfeed from their mother. Marlene C. Francia

  14. Bridge with almost no water under? This was taken along Loitokitok to Nairobi route last 2nd August 2010 Marufelia Pere-ira Dagondon

  15. Somali women and children huddle in dust-choked and unrelenting wind as they queue outside a food distribution center in the border town of Mandera, in north eastern Kenya near Somalia and Ethiopia. Sandstorms are a common occurrence here. Successive years of crippling drought brought about by climate change has turned the landscape into a huge dust bowl and affected food and water supplies for the pastoralist Somalis of Mandera. Malnutrition, particularly among young children, is widespread. Marlene C. Francia

  16. Makalia Falls at Nakuru National Park. The brown water means that there are less trees to hold the soil thus the erosion... Marufelia Pere-ira Dagondon

  17. This photo is taken yesterday from Loitokitok. You can barely see the snow on top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Just 20 years ago the snow on Kibo would reach halfway down. Due to global warming the snow melted, having sever consequences for the Maasai living there. Drought periods can take up to 20 months. Lennart Pilon
