FACING THE CRISIS
Each month, we highlight a photograph from Facing the Crisis, our virtual exhibition documenting the human impact of the climate crisis. This photograph shows a resident of Tirtiri village in Ethiopia, where there is an abundance of water, thanks to the development work of Friendship Support Association, one of Tearfunds partners. FSA have helped the community of Tirtiri to install a Borehole and Water pump to allow their village easy, abundant access to clean water. Photograph taken by Chris Hoskins for Tearfund.
