Friends of Turkana is a secular not for profit focused on encouraging and supporting programs that create opportunities for self-sufficiency in one of the most impoverished regions in the world, an area that is disproportionally affected by climate change with more frequent and longer droughts. The charity focuses in particular on agricultural and water programs to enable the people of Turkana to provide for themselves the most basic of human needs, food and water. One of Friends of Turkana’s agricultural projects, which in the midst of the Great Drought of the Horn of Africa, enabled a group of women to move from dependency to food self-sufficiency (in partnership with Ikal Angelei and the Turkana Basin Institute), was shown in a PBS and National Geographic production on Turkana (http://www.pbs.org/programs/bones-turkana/).
