Fighting Extreme Weather Across Africa

Three picture stories about brave children facing sandstorms, floods and cyclones.

All across sunny Africa, life moves to the rhythm of nature. But something worrying is happening. The weather is changing. It is getting harder to know what the weather will do, and it is getting wilder, with more cyclones and heatwaves. These can upset the balance of life. Fighting this wild weather is hard. People need clever ideas, and they need to be strong. But Africa is full of brave spirit, and it will not give up. Every time people solve a problem or try a new idea, Africa grows stronger, ready for any storms that may come.
