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 Domingas holding her 1 year-old daughter Deorizio Soares, next to their family’s keyhole garden in Timor Leste. Learning to build rainwater harvesting systems out of bamboo to collect precious rainwater allows Domingas and her family to better endure Timor-Leste’s worsening dry seasons. Photograph taken by Ezra Millstein for Mercy Corps.
