EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photo print, we witness the resilience and determination of refugees from the Congo and Rwanda as they work together to combat water erosion in Tanzania's West Great Lakes Region. Amidst their own struggles, these individuals have come together to create gambions - structures made of stone-filled wire cages covered with earth - that serve as a barrier against the destructive force of water. The image captures a scene filled with hardworking people who refuse to let adversity define them. With unwavering focus, they meticulously construct these protective barriers, showcasing their deep connection to the land and their commitment to preserving it for future generations. Their hands are calloused from hours of labor, yet their spirits remain unbroken. This photograph not only highlights the physical labor involved but also sheds light on the profound impact that conflict has had on these communities. Forced to flee Burundi and Zaire due to ongoing conflicts, these refugees have found solace in agriculture – using their skills and knowledge gained from their homelands. As we gaze upon this image, let us be reminded of the strength within humanity even amidst unimaginable circumstances. It serves as a testament that no matter where one comes from or what challenges they face, unity and perseverance can overcome any obstacle.
