Loko, 35, is a mother of five children living in a village near Hidhi Miribi. Her village had never had access to water and being a single mother she had to fetch water every day while leaving her children alone. “I used to travel all the way to the top of the mountain and then all the way down to fetch water. I left at 6AM and came back around 6PM. I walked all this time just to fetch one jerrycan of water.” “I suffered a lot because I’m alone and I have 5 children. Even the food that I left for my children while I went away they finished it before I came back. That worried me a lot because nobody gave them more food."

Climate change is fueling a global hunger and nutrition crisis that is exacerbating existing inequalities and has severe, compounding impacts on women and girls. The climate crisis takes many forms: changing temperatures, more frequent and worsening droughts and floods, and rapidly degrading soil quality all impact people’s ability to access sufficient healthy food. Action Against Hunger is committed to addressing the climate and hunger crisis at COP29.
