Within my Withering Garden

Gumisiriza Narasi, 62 a Security guard and Urban Farmer sadly looks closely at the withering passion fruit vines in his garden in Ntinda, Kampala, Uganda, July 28, 2022. “Life’s difficult, watching all my passion fruits drying, it was a huge supplement to my income.” Says Narasi. Uganda experienced a prolonged dry spell after rains expected to start in March-April up to May-June did not come in sufficient amounts, with Kampala recording up to 100°F in recent times.
