World without water
The effects of drought on Kenyan 'tribespeople are examined in a documentary on Network Two tonight John Hawkesby, usually seen reading the news, travels in “When the Rains Don’t Come” into the interior of Kenya, where half the children under five are dying because of drought. He talks to Masai . and Turkana tribespeople about their daily struggle against starvation, and looks at a development programme that offers them not just survival but the hope of self-reliance.
In charge of the pro-
gramme is a New Zealander, Ken Tracey, World Vision’s Africa regional director. Hawkesby interviews Mr Tracey, local project leaders, and tribespeople to assess what has been achieved by aid projects in the region.
The film shows that the results are clear: World Vision is helping the people learn and rebuild, teaching medicine, literacy, building, hygiene, animal husbandry, and carpentry. Even amid starvation and decay, the projects have brought hope. “Contact”, Two 7 p.m.
