Waiting for meal, South Omo, Ethiopia | by Michal Przedlacki

Waiting for meal, South Omo, Ethiopia. A mother grinds maize to flour from food support received in Ethiopian Safety Net program. While the tourist season in South Omo reaches its peak and visitors go for pre-arranged ceremonies guarded by a mafia of local "tour guides", people in woredas affected by more than two years of droughts continue to survive off wild vegetation collected in the bush. If not for the safety net program of Ethiopia they would long be dead. Water is acquired from excavating riverbeds or from ponds, shortage of it is starting already. Most of cattle was lost and so - the source of milk. Cattle was central to lives of pastoral communities in South Omo, and not only for the social prestige it gave to its owners.
