  • The GirSiko goat house raised on timber stilts with iron-sheet walls and timber access ramps, standing under acacia trees on open grass. Two goats graze to the left and two people are working on the ground behind the house.

  • Two young men hand-excavating the GirSiko water pan. One in a yellow shirt stands in the cut holding a spade and looks at the camera; the other, in a red shirt, works on the mound of red soil behind him. Cut brush and green trees surround the site.
    WaterThe water pan is being dug by hand, by young people from the surrounding community.
