5:17 am
the semi nomadic m. a cy are desperately looking for water and the pasture for their herds. a problem also affecting farmers. mays is the staple food in tanzania, and also provides forage for animals. but the crops have failed. events and von c looks in dismay at the sparse yield. many people here in tanzania are struggling to survive or to compete. meanwhile, the effects of the russian invasion of ukraine are being felt even here in the shadow of kilimanjaro. ah, ah, for centuries the mus i have been roaming the grasslands with their herds. but currently there is no grazing to be found for hundreds of kilometers. ah,
5:18 am
the marseilles traditional homeland, the step is increasingly becoming a desert. at the foot of kilimanjaro africa's highest mountain climate change is having a devastating impact. ah, today a community deep in the step is welcoming a visiting pastor. this area is part of the lutheran diocese of mo. she the provincial capital, some 60 kilometers away. been yell myo is the local dean. the bishop's representative responsible for 45 lutheran parishes with almost 120000 members. dean mario is painfully aware of the critical food shortage. last year we heard him 50 percent growth. at least the people
5:19 am
could hover. elizabeth, but this year people have lost completely in very few areas of tanzania. people could harvest to something dean. malia refuses to accept a situation in which some people have nothing to eat when there's plenty of food in the world. he walks long distances from one family to another all day long. some of the traditionally nomadic miss i have settled and the built hot sun, now drought is destroying their homeland due for international aid organizations. these communities are extremely remote, and barely accessible by the village elders describe their desperate situation. some families have lost as many as 68 or even 10 animals to thirst and starvation. this woman tells us that all the young men have headed for the mountains with the farm animals looking for food and water. they've been gone for weeks,
5:20 am
or when the dean asks when they're expected bagley, she says they can't return before the rains come. otherwise the animals will die, there are no grazing areas left here. she says no fun. in the traditional boma and enclosure for animals edged with thorn bushes, there are only 4 goats. all female animals. they provide the family with some milk and in an emergency can be a source of meat. 6 people live in this small hot with its limited resources. the lutheran church is trying to help these people. it's been 2 months since the dean's last visit back then. he was able to buy 1030 kilo sacks of maids from farmers on the coast, with donations he received from germany and elsewhere. that eased the hardship of some 50 families for 2 or 3 weeks with the
5:21 am
board filled the bed or bread for the world agency run by the german lutheran church is doing what it can for the people of tanzania. back in berlin, aid workers are told how russia invasion of ukraine is affecting life in east africa. the lutheran bishop of kilimanjaro is currently on a fundraising trip to germany. the war in ukraine is also crisis suit stick employers who man in the fall, foul land in no crane, but you can see the impact of it also in pennsylvania and the prices overcome or diffuse. so some important commodity to slight care. sure. and it's gone up, a price is full grained, is gone up. this is data to memory. to me. my parishioners
5:22 am
is meeting their from really primary news because when they depend on an incognito, through world, from outside and even sometimes grays. from outside for months, moscow halted the export of wheat and maids from ukraine and russia. tanza nia has a shortfall of several 1000 tons of grain. i was looking forward to somebody in adding to its problems. the country has taken an over a 1000000 refugees from other east african countries. the u. n's, world food program is stretched to its limits. even data dea bethanny get decked out in easton, 6 more not currently on coverage requirements for the next 6 months. and they went to more than $890000000.00 of grammar. we've already suspended programs that prevent malnutrition hom. we've also reduced rations by 50 percent,
5:23 am
meaning that people are no longer receiving the full rations. they nielsen. and we've also had to remove 1700000 people from the few date program altogether that i have allison in the likely increase in migrants fleeing to europe, is a scenario that moscow appears to be taking into account perhaps, to put pressure on ukraine's allies. there, when the european wheat harvest began in july 2022, the silos in ukraine were full of the previous year's crop. the country is among the world, major grain, ex borders, but all of its seaports were now blockaded by russian troops. usually ukraine export some $18000000.00 tons of wheat and $28000000.00 tons of mays each year, including to africa. now the farmers of ukraine don't know what to do with the new harvest, fearing that much of it will be left to rot. wheat and the corn have become weapons and rushes war. the viet burnett who lives alone. and course,
5:24 am
we're all feeling the effects of the ukraine crisis, but they're even more tangible for people who have a poor and livelihood. huge dark ashby, other in a normal year, tanzania import $600.00 tons of wheat from russia and ukraine. that source has now dried up. i didn't asked uh, in stanford in particular the decrease in imports and the increasing costs some very noticeable. and that exacerbates an already fragile situation. dr. dallas delagarza is situation in east africa is very, very dramatic, and is currently deteriorating. now there are 89000000 people suffering from acute hunger, and the situation could get even worse, especially my 80 percent of tans and he has population over 40000000 people work in agriculture. but most children under the age of 5 and their mothers are chronically
5:25 am
malnourished. they don't have enough to eat, and their diets are not varied enough, leading to anemia and developmental disorders. and in the current price war, even the staple food maze is unavailable. during the harvest time, we used to weigh maybe one big footprint to 5000 or 30000, which is equivalent to pen euro. but know, as of this day, it is 150000 times on shillings. that means 5 times the normal price. it's a crisis that is affecting all areas of life. we visit a secondary school run by the lutheran church. normally 500 children attend to classes here. but right now it's here really quiet. there is a group of children when all the way some of the community they are not able to do
5:26 am
so or to pay for the even though it's less school see the doable of so sometimes we can not or far they say that that is really helpful. for students only $50.00 to $60.00 children currently attend the school. usually they're fed here, breakfast, tea break and lunch. but currently the school can't afford to pay for food. and there is also a lack of money for teachers. for the most part, the students have to study on their own. often with an empty stomach, the headmistress feels helpless. we can ask the diocese or the church leaders, the decision that we are pressing in the middle, they can give us some ideas. but in a really sense,
5:27 am
we didn't experience before the way i can't explain anymore. behind the school buildings lies a banana plantation and a field of maze. the lutheran church owns a number of properties like this, but their yields are getting smaller every year. so this is the place where we, we bring in the harvest from our firms, when the harvest mays, we always bring it here and pull it out of the shells here. so this one, the growth is of the maze. what we have is that this year, and this are the cops, i thought we, we take out the maze and see all this, ah, the whole cops w good from the harvest. and now you can see i'm, is that we have for this year. and we could have given supply to our people because
5:28 am
it's very less quality contrasted to the previous years. and we usually hover more than 50 or 60 bags from our firms, but we didn't harvest. so if we had 6 these bags who could even apply to our people in the mission area, but unfortunately, it was so less the soil in the grass lands has an extremely high sand content. strong winds have become more frequent, and the last remains of fertile earth are blown away. the ravages of climate change . this area is extremely dry. the top water has not yet reached this place until now. and how do they found to find water? they have to walk along a very long walk to collect water on the other side. also, there are a long walk to collect water, clean water. that's why we sewed. it's really important to dig for them
5:29 am
a whole and collect water. and luckily enough, the what that table is not verified deep. sometimes you can go fulton with us though. you find water. if you want permanent water, you can go through the method though, and have it continued flow of water. this type of well construction is dangerous and requires specialist skills. it's necessary to dig to a depth of 25 meters. the men work with only hammer and chisel. fortunately at this, well, they reached ground water without incident depending on the nature of the ground, a construction like this costs the equivalent of $500.00 to $800.00 euros. even with the support of german donors. the lutheran church is unable to finance more
5:30 am
than 5 or 6 walls a year. a ground water level that significantly lower at 50 or 80 meters below ground requires huge machines to drill down. and those cases, one well can cost anything between 8 and 10000 euros funded by boat for developed and other donors. but the wells cannot solve all the problems here. their water is reserved for human consumption. if they were used for irrigation as well, they would rapidly exhaust the ground water supply wells are merely part of the solution to the problems of global warming. ah, ah, i'm a cy. parish celebrates it's sunday service to see the canvas roof was donated by a business man from the provincial capital, nor she. oh, it was originally intended to protect worshippers from storms. but it hasn't rained
5:31 am
here for 3 years. their bishop is counting on the communities of kilimanjaro supporting each other. oh, we enough rica of land to share. so for example, when in the law i law a parcel of the mountain. if there is no food and we ask her the parish him as will have for it will live in their upper land, for example, where it is grima to collect some food. and there we send this food to help those who are really met a why i impacted by the food should mount kilimanjaro sustains an enormous area. also in neighboring kenya, on its northern slopes. the mountain is a major tourist attraction. visitors who want a scale at summit have to fork out between 3 and 20000 euros. the
5:32 am
mountain streams constitute a lifeline. but even here, there is less water. on the higher reaches, the cascades aren't as strong as they were 10 years ago. the water comes from a melting glacier. 5800 meters of fresh snow rarely falls on the summit. and climate experts predict that by 2030 there will be no ice left on kilimanjaro. further down the mountain, the situation is increasingly dangerous. everywhere farmers divert the water to irrigate their fields, tomatoes, cucumbers, and coffee all grow well at this altitude, but they need a lot of water. and precious little reaches the foot of the mountain. this was once a wide river. now shepherd boys heard their animals to the remaining tiny pools ah, just 30 kilometers away from the majestic kilimanjaro. the landscape is turning
5:33 am
into desert. ah, people here are fighting a desperate battle against climate change that they themselves have not caused. known the wife of the lutheran bishop of the kilimanjaro diocese, has started a cooperative 70 women planted tomatoes on church land this year. or am i doing right now in late summer? they're harvesting what they can. but the project now only involves 6 or 7 women. with the help of dr. iv and some fancy, they struck a deal with a neighbor on whose property the last gasp of a river still flows. romando. but that water has been a source of dispute for some time now. continued the ortho until the finished you to get the idea crops. so it's very difficult to
5:34 am
india bailey into in conflicts with them as we consider our lot is far away from here. so we use a lot of electricity. so as water can breach the, the neighbor allows them to extract water for 2 hours a week. this is only sufficient to irrigate a small part of their tomatoes. some 80 percent of the cooperatives crop has withered and died without a reasonable harvest to their investment is wasted. the situation is dire. they get this small amount of food either from other areas where there is no enough loses. he was, if no money for my needs. so that is what is even though she veto, they haven't the money for went to washington. so they're going to, she's investment the mock m a hospital is further up kilimanjaro, at an altitude of almost 2000 meters. it's main ward is almost empty,
5:35 am
not because people are healthy, but because they cannot afford to get sick is i, tony camaro only came here because she'd sustained severe injuries. took care. and i've been here for 2 weeks now. why am i? yeah, i had a bad accident and burned my whole back with boiling hot water gone. so i had to go to the hospital and it was just godaddy now and healthy again. but my family can't come to pick me up. i do my, my yeah, my easy. she's been receiving medical treatment but usually the family has to help take care of the patients and bring them food. no one has visited sy tony for a week. she has 2 small children, no husband, just an elderly mother. her hospital bill is the equivalent of 120 euros, which is way beyond her means. so as i, tony is stuck in the hospital as though in prison. don't resign yourself to a tragic fate. that's allude. mangano has message. he trained as an agricultural
5:36 am
consultant in germany for 3 years now. he advises farmers in tanzania, the habit of goes to corporate him to side to talk. in high token, i says, goes our big problem at the moment is drought, which is a major issue here because of global warming. the land is very dry. poland and my colleague, my friend abraham, wanted to meet me to discuss how to cope with the drought. even da da da could hear me talking. i thought you couldn't. elliot and abra hom wanted develop sustainable agriculture at the foot of kilimanjaro. i think in the face of climate change and a drought, i thought as a price explosion and the consequences of war. abraham invested 5 years ago building a rain water reservoir. but after the rain's failed to materialize for 3 consecutive years, and it only has water for a couple of months on it. we don't want any, he doesn't want to abandon the project. however, even though his experimental attempts to grow high quality produce failed this year, well, when we didn't go to the yeah, abraham had put up a beard,
5:37 am
but abraham tried to grow pash route here by. he says the problem is that the person whom he consulted didn't advise him very well. and that's why he lost so much. and now he's looking for a new consultant will yet look de and no, but i order. abraham wants to grow the fruit without chemicals, a possible organically at so vinegar because he didn't have enough water. but he tried anyway, because his heart was in it, that he really wanted to grow passion for itself. and in this acute crisis aid organization, such as board for divert support the concept of concentrating on regional fruit, possibly exporting it and using smart irrigation systems. the aim is to make these rural areas independent of imports and the global market, the vietnam from bush big avenged on top. nathan, in islam more nothin from india. and that spies, we hope that in the next few months will at least partially succeed in, including farmers and the drought stricken countries and regions. and our efforts to combat the threat. a fam, hers it had thrown through the canton philo,
5:38 am
many crops grow very quickly. what's millet for instance takes less than 3 months and why more than that man? the iron beds wherever possible, we want to include the local farmers and their efforts in these regions. some areas have had rainfall too, and then as to which af, good exit out of the air quits was discounted development of the by of a. so in the very short term, the world community can involve farmers from famine, regions to row crops, were their neighbors. and then until bone dust as well, that would be very significant because it would have a long term effect, an effect o done. then even if prices on the world market were to drop again, it would mean these regions becoming independent of them and the establishment of regional supply chain. it's an it may yona for fata. but those kinds of concepts won't bear fruit over night. abraham knows he isn't using his scarce water resources with maximum efficiency. despite the drought, his crop is thriving,
5:39 am
but now he would like to install water pumps that run on solar energy. that would reduce his energy costs to 0, but he lacks the capital to invest. and there's another problem, while abraham has water, his neighbor doesn't even in this crisis year, abraham's wife is able to serve her visitors a delicious lunch of may's tomatoes and beans. oh, i found jay atlantis at the farm hand also gets fell. it'll be his only meal to day . a lot of people in these parts get even less to eat. in previous years the lutheran church and the killen gyro area always had between 1802000 tons of maze to distribute to the needy. yeah no go to this thought dean been l. my yo makes it clear that at the end of
5:40 am
2022, they have reached a new crisis level. this is the silo to store amaze when we harvest, when we get from our publishers, or when we have some donations from, but as friends, we keep them here. when that is in problem with food in maza areas or elsewhere with plate for the conic he use. if you listen to this, it means there's nothing inside. also this one, it's completely empty. the same applies to this. it's empty and you go to all this once the or empty empty, empty, completely empty, with empty and clean everything. and we are still looking for some possibility to find some moment to store inside for the future use,
5:41 am
but also to supply far people. the ship provides a glimmer of hope. the rezone in the boss for a straight. the freighter was the 1st vessel allowed to export ukrainian grain in august through the so called grain corridor, across the black sea to turkish waters. by mid november, around 500 vessels, with over 11000000 tons of grain had taken this route, but none of them had docked in hands and he has largest port doris salam. meanwhile with rain yet to materialize, the people of the messiah step are still hoping for help. ah, ah, a couple of 1000 tons of me from ukraine would save many lives here. there's no way we can escape the truth that is hunger among our people. it's a fair mind. i know the government has some food reserves, but you know, if for example, we don't get the show trains and maybe next the again,
