A Mursi girl from the Omo Valley, Ethiopia. The Mursi and other tribes of the Omo Valley practice flood-retreat cultivation, growing crops in the rich silt left along the river banks by the slowly receding waters.

Two Bushman boys sit on the pale sands of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve in Botswana, surrounded by tsamma melons.  In times of drought, Bushmen traditionally quenched their thirst with the juice of the melons.  Now they are celebrating drinking water from the Mothomelo borehole for the first time since it was capped by the government nine years ago; a significant step towards their full return to their ancestral lands.
