A unique Red Cross Red Crescent project, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, has been exploring the use of climate information in health programming in Indonesia, Kenya, Tanzania and Vietnam. For “Health Risk Management” (HRM) in Kenya, project sites were chosen in Nyando province, near Lake Victoria (pictured) – an alluvial plain vulnerable to endemic malaria, devastating floods and diarrhoeal disease. It supported work by the Kenya Red Cross Society to improve water and sanitation, and raise awareness of hygiene practices like handwashing, better handling of kitchen utensils, and better construction methods for pit latrines. The picture shows Esther Akiro, with a washing up bowl for her family's kitchen utensils. (Photo: Nancy Okwengu/IFRC-Climate Centre)
