  6. Consequences wheel What are the consequences of drought? No water supply

  8. “I feel afraid. When the floods come, our houses fall – everything collapses. Strong floods suddenly rush down the mountains and we run to the school building to take shelter. We don’t have enough food. You get pains in your stomach if you can’t eat.” Muktaand her mother Shofikun. PHOTO: NICOLAS AXELROD/ACTIONAID

  9. “Father sowed the fields and mother and I helped with the weeding. After the paddy grew, we dried the crops under the sun and then sold some, but kept half for ourselves. Before, we went hungry and earning money was difficult, but now I like the harvesting season.” Mukta and her mother Shofikun. PHOTO: NICOLAS AXELROD/ACTIONAID Mukta in the family's vegetable garden.
