But the people of Turkana are not looking for handouts. What they need is infrastructure to combat the effects of climate change on farming. Investments in farming, irrigation and forestry can all reduce the impact of climate change and help ensure food security. Unfortunately Turkana is just one humanitarian crisis among many.
