This Kenyan community is fighting against climate change

ONE

The impacts of the climate crisis are far-reaching. One impact is often overlooked: people’s health.

The people living in Kibera, an informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya, are experiencing that first hand.

But the community is rising up to tackle the threat. A group called Weather Mtaani helps the community understand weather forecasts and prepare for climate-related health risks from things like contaminated water. They also organize clean-ups to allow water to flow out of Kibera.

Watch this video to find out how Weather Mtaani is leading the way to tackle climate change in Kenya.

Studio Silverback produced this film, with support from Wellcome Trust.
