Their Story

From the flooding of the Senegal River to the water shortages faced by Bédik communities in Kédougou, the salinisation of agricultural land and the displacement of families from coastal communities, climate change is already reshaping lives across Senegal.

In this story, Abou KA takes us across different regions of the country to document the human realities behind climate-related loss and damage. Farmers watch their fields disappear beneath floodwaters, women and girls walk hours in search of water, once-fertile soils become unproductive, and families are forced to leave their homes as the sea advances.

These are not only stories of loss. They are stories of resilience, adaptation and a demand for justice—and for financing that is fair, appropriate and accessible to the communities most affected.
