Aminit Namonio (6) helps her dad fishing in lake Turkana in Kenya, after her older brother was shot by the Ethiopian Daddanesh tribe men, while he was fishing. Aminit is scarred of when the tribesmen come back and fear for her life when fishing. Today they caught 2 fish and a The Nile monitor (Varanus niloticus) is one of Africa's largest lizards. Foodsecurity is very unstable in the area because of climate change impacts and its not every day her family gets fish in the net. The family can’t afford to pay the school fee, so Aminit helps in the household, fetching water and finding firewood.
