Drought is slow. It does not arrive the way a storm does; it takes a harvest, then a herd, then a family’s reason to stay.
Across the drylands, young people describe the same sequence in different languages: the wells go further down, school attendance drops, and someone in the household leaves to find work.
They also describe the same instinct — to organise. Water committees, seed banks, shared irrigation. The Hub is where those responses meet the people writing drought policy.
