The drought of 2015 was devastating for midwest Karachuonyo in Homa Bay county. Lean dogs added weight as their masters moaned, hoping clouds gathering in the distant horizon would bring rain. Without pasture, and too much dust, sometimes six-inches deep, weak animals dropped dead, drowning in dust. During drought women and children wake up by 4am, for the long trek in search of water. Or quench the thirst of weak or young animals that cannot make it to distant water points.
