SHE BEARS THE HEAT- in Progress addresses The impact of climate change on food security and livelihoods in remote panhandle villages and how it is particularly felt by women. When there is a drought caused by the weather, women are the ones who have to spend several hours walking to a water source for their household. When water is scarce, it affects everything - from drinking, cooking, and irrigating crops, to using it for hygiene. This has a direct impact on the health and nutrition of women and their children. The project aims to document women's adaptation strategies and challenges in the Delta and how these indigenous women use traditional knowledge to protect the Delta, their source of life, demonstrating resilience. This project holds great significance as it aims to constructively showcase a visual narrative that considers the local perspectives on the lived realities of climate change for women. It seeks to explore the indigenous strategies that women are employing to adapt to climate change and their perceptions of the phenomenon as residents of Okavango.
