Lebanon, 2015.
Portrait of taxi driver Rosy Khalil. After studying hotel management, Rosy had a hard time finding a job. One day her husband, a driver, was sick and asked her to drive a client. She did it, and on her way back got several more clients. She liked the fact that she could earn money this way, so she stuck with it. When some people see her working as a taxi driver they ask her if she is a widow or if her husband has left her. “You meet many people during the day and you never know who can do you harm, like stealing money or hurting you physically,” she says, so she limits her work to daylight hours and has learned to deal with people. Despite these issues, Rosy plans to make a long career out of driving.

Women weather the microburst in Ber'aano Woreda in Somali region of Ethiopia 12 February 2014. The village is the first village declared ODF (Open Defecation Free) and All but one household has a latrine. While flags fly over each latrine. In Somali Region water supply coverage is estimated at 59.7%, lower than the national average of 68.5%. The need for water supply normally increases in the dry season, especially at the time of drought such as in recent years. However, the technical and organizational capacity of the Somali Regional State Water Resources Development Bureau (SRWDB) the government agency responsible for water supply and facilities management in the region to satisfy the water supply need is not adequate to cope with the situation. Donor agencies and NGOs are making efforts to ameliorate the situation by constructing and repairing water supply facilities across the region, supplying water by water trucks during chronic shortages, but the supply is still significantly below the demand.

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.” - George Orwell
THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF OLIGARCHICAL COLLECTIVISM:
BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU! Follow the Party’s sustainable development slogans: WAR IS PEACE (DIVERSITY); FREEDOM IS SLAVERY (EQUITY); IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH (INCLUSION). Embrace the woke Party; embrace their doublethink; embrace their newspeak. The Ministry of Truth will memory hole what it doesn’t like, and it will rewrite what it likes. Since we control the past, we control the future. Those who control the present control the past. Since we have altered the past, it has never been altered. What we have made true in the present is true forever. Those who control big data control the future. Never-ending indoctrination will give us victory over your memories. This is called “Reality Control.” The whole aim of Political Correctness is to narrow your range of thought. Those who control the language control thought and behavior. Our goal is to make thoughtcrime impossible. We will restrict your vocabulary until there are no words to express it. Every word will be strictly defined with only one meaning; its other meanings will be memory-holed and forgotten. All knowledge of Oldspeak will for ever disappear.
Our New World Order will be founded on pain (poverty, slavery, plague, famine, war). Our old Western civilization, which was based on Christianity, claimed to be founded on love and justice. Ours, however, will be founded on hatred (Marxism). Our new world will be full of uncertainty, anger, rage, and self-abasement. We will destroy our old culture. All old habits of thought, which preceded the Great Reset, must be broken down. We must sever the links between parent and child, man and woman, man and friend. A man will no longer trust his wife or his child or his friend. In the future there will be no wives or children or families. Sexual instinct will be eradicated. Orgasms will be eradicated. Procreation will be eradicated. We will eradicate all loyalty, except loyalty towards the Party. We will eradicate all love, except the love of Big Brother. As we speak, our scientists are working on these matters.
Yell the Party slogans and worship Big Brother! Turn your anger against the enemies of the State, against Christians, traitors, saboteurs, and thought-criminals. Every ‘child hero’ must eavesdrop on their parents and neighbours. Every ‘child hero’ must turn their parents and neighbours into the State for any crimes committed against the Party. We’ve had many great purges, involving tens of thousands of people. Traitors and thought-criminals were put on public trial. Under duress they confessed their crimes and were executed. They were unpersoned! They did not exist! They had never existed!
Big Brother loves (surveils) you. So goggle at your telescreens, stare into your VR headsets: we will track your eye movements, we will see how your mind reacts to algorithm-fed information. Step into the streets, and we will track your face with facial recognition. Be careful or else you might commit a facecrime! Our scientists are currently working on a brain-chip that will connect you to BIG BROTHER. The thoughtcrimes in your head will then be monitored in real time. BIG BROTHER will be all-knowing! BIG BROTHER will be all-seeing! For minor thoughtcrimes, you will be punished through BIG BROTHER’s social credit score system. For major thoughtcrimes, you will be arrested by the Thought Police. They will take you to the Ministry of Love where you will be tortured, reeducated, and reformed. However, if you commit the unpardonable sin against the Party, you will surely die. If you refuse to worship the Party’s Image of BIG BROTHER, you will be beheaded. You will follow the commandments of the Party: “You must love Big Brother with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is: You must love the Party as yourself. The whole law of sustainable development depends on these two commandments.”
In tiny clear lettering, the name BIG BROTHER (666) was inscribed on the face of the new brain-chip. The eyes of BIG BROTHER always pursued you—everywhere. His eyes always watched you, and his voice consumed you. Asleep or awake, relaxing or working, indoors or outdoors, there was no escape. Nothing was your own, not even the few cubic centimetres inside your skull. Indeed, transhumanism is a boot stamping out humanity for ever.
BIG BROTHER is the Beast. The Beast will be all-knowing through his Beast system. This system will be run by his quantum AI assistant, the Image of the Beast, who will monitor everything. The Beast is the leader of the Illuminati Party. The Beast and his Party will successfully usher in their one world digital currency system.
The Party’s narrative must reign supreme: perpetual wars are good! In the book 1984 there were three superpowers. The Bible mentions three superpowers in the Tribulation Period: the Revived Roman Empire, the Kings of the East, Russia and its allies (though the Russian military loses the Battle of Gog and Magog, they will be back to fight in the Battle of Armageddon). Who wins the Battle of Armageddon? Jesus Christ! No transhumans will enter His kingdom, but only the pureblooded humans who have placed their faith in Him.
Here is a word of warning: if you take the Mark, you will worship BIG BROTHER—you will love HIM.

The desire to light up their communities and empower the women in them has proven a unifying bond. With just six months training in the college, students have shown that they can transcend tremendous barriers, and emerge as self-sustaining solar engineers and change-makers.
Participants from Liberia and Malawi at the end of their six-month solar engineering course. Today some participants will dress up and visit the local market, while the others are happily packing for their return to Africa. On the edge of the bed is the solar lantern kit that everyone of them will take home.

In the Katfoura village on the Tristao Islands in Guinea, the civil society organization Partenariat Recherches Environnement Medias (PREM) is providing rural women with new opportunities to generate income and improve community life.
Through a grant from UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality, PREM has helped rural women form several cooperatives and taught its members how to plant a vitamin-rich tree called Moringa and how to clean, dry and sell its leaves. Used as medicine or a dietary supplement by societies around the world, Moringa also supports biodiversity and prevents soil erosion.
The cooperatives are made up of local women who come together to share ideas, and they give women an opportunity to build leadership skills, strengthen community bonds, and participate in economic decisions that affect the community.
PREM is one of over 120 civil society organizations that has been awarded a grant by UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality since 2009. In the last six years, the Fund for Gender Equality has successfully awarded USD $64 million to grantee programmes in 80 countries. To date, such programmes have reached over 10 million women, girls and boys as direct beneficiaries.

This photo was taken of some brothers in a small village in Benin. Having traveled to the village over several years and several occasions has let everyone get comfortable taking photos. The village has no electricity, and these kids could not afford school, so returning with the photos each year is a wonderful time for everyone. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

Martha Alicia Benavente, from Tucurú, a small municipality in Guatemala trained for six months to become a solar engineer, and she is bursting with energy. She can’t wait to start building solar lamps so that her community can have sustainable energy at last. One solar lamp could sell for up to 200 Quetzals, a lucrative business opportunity for a woman in a traditionally male-dominated field.
In her words:
"There are more than 90 families in this community, none of the homes have access to energy.
Seven months ago, the Mayor of Tucurú selected me to go to the Barefoot College in India to learn solar engineering. I said, give me thirty minutes to think about it, the Mayor said, you have fifteen.
When I got on the airplane and it took off, I screamed! It was my first time, flying over the Pacific Ocean.
I used to be a domestic worker at a professor’s house in Tucurú before joining this programme. My day started at four in the morning. I would wake up early to go to the mill to get the corn for the tortillas for my children. Then I ran to work by 6:30 am. At my employer’s house, I cooked, swept the house, did dishes, showered the children and took them to school… and then ran to pick them up from school in the afternoon. For all this work, I got 500 Quetzals every month. It wasn’t enough to meet all our needs.
The six months I spent in India at the Barefoot College were also not easy. I got sick, and sometimes wondered if it was better to remain a domestic worker. But little by little, I learned everything. I learned how to make solar lamps.
Look at this solar lamp that I made at Barefoot College. Before I had the lamp, I used to spend 5 – 10 Quetzals every day to light candles. Or we would stay in the dark sometimes, because the store wouldn’t give us credit to buy more candles. I had to finish all my chores at home by 7 p.m.
Now, if I have all the materials, I can build a solar lamp in 20 minutes!
Right now, the biggest challenge is how to put into practice what I learned in India and to train more women. There are many mothers here who want to learn and who can benefit…I just need the materials to build lamps.
My dream is that my community benefits from solar energy. I made a very big effort to go to India, not only for me, but for the whole community. People come up to me and say, we are so happy that you’re back. Now we will have light!”
Martha Alicia Benavente, 45 years old, is a mother of four children whom she raised alone after her husband passed away. She has recently graduated as a solar engineer from the Barefoot College in India, through the UN Joint Programme on Accelerating Progress towards the Economic Empowerment of Rural Women implemented by FAO, WFP, IFAD and UN Women in Guatemala, and funded by the Governments of Norway and Sweden. Her story relates to the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7, on access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all; as well as SDG 5 on gender equality and women’s empowerment and SDG 8, which promotes decent work and sustainable economic empowerment for all.

Najwa Krishk Mortada co-owns a wheat processing shop with her husband. The machines are dangerous and this means they don’t want to employ anybody else. They work alone and trust each other. The work is seasonal - just three months of the year during the harvest. She is happy to have her work close to her house and to work alongside her husband.

Bawor Mamma has spent years recovering from the lingering effects of civil war and economic dislocation in Liberia. At 53 she prefers assembling solar lanterns to the physical strain of farming. “I am not just a farmer like everyone else,” she says with a clear sense of pride. “I am a solar engineer now and I want to electrify my village and other neighbouring villages.”

Nahla Sukkari has worked in the making of Fekha carpets for 35 years. “Ever since I started this work, it has provided for my children and me,” she said. “It meant we did not have to rely on anyone. Each piece motivates me to keep improving.”
The wool Nahla uses comes from the Hima community. Hima is an ancient practice used by rural communities in Lebanon to ensure economic cooperation, sustainability and equitable resource management. Rural women have traditionally played key leadership and decision-making roles in the Hima community model.
Today, one conservation-minded organisation – the Society for the Protection of Nature in Lebanon (SPNL) – is reviving the ancient Hima approach to help rural women reassert their traditional leadership roles in community life.
With support from UN Women’s Fund for Gender Equality, SPNL is supporting rural Lebanese women and local municipalities to become partners and champions of the environment by promoting local ownership of sustainable resource management.

The African mountains stand out as areas with favourable climatic and ecological conditions, in contrast to the surrounding lowlands that are generally much drier. As a consequence of this, the total average population density in all African mountains is more than double the density of the lowlands. The driving economic forces now have better knowledge about and access to the rich natural resources in the mountains, including hydropower, minerals, timber and agricultural soils.
In Uganda, participants have visited Mount Elgon and communities on its slopes to observe emerging micro-climate changes, their causes and effects so to discuss coping mechanisms and suitable adaptation strategies.

Over the last twenty years, it is conservatively estimated that disasters have killed 1.3 million people, affected 4.4 billion and resulted in economic losses of $2 trillion. These are staggering numbers when you consider what it means in terms of missed opportunities, shattered lives, lost housing, schools and health facilities destroyed, cultural losses and roads washed away.
