Ahead of El Niño 🌧️, we knew we needed better ways to prepare and respond. So we built https://t.co/pG5V0HC3cI
Mafuriko is a community-powered early warning system for flooding.
Built from the ground up by @EsotericStrats , powered by @aiverseafrica , it brings together flood hotspots, rainfall data, affected roads and community reports
And anyone can report flooding, helping build a real-time picture of what’s happening on the ground.

Today, I return to the country in which I became a functioning adult: my beloved Switzerland.

Not as a jejune lawyer with dreams of changing the world, but as a Visiting Professor at the University of Bern.

Until December, I will be leading a seminar on WRITING THE OTHER.

A can of Fanta sold in London contains 63 calories. In India, the same drink contains three times as much sugar. It also has artificial dye — requiring prominent health warnings in Europe — but in India, the colorant’s presence is noted merely in small print on the back of the can https://t.co/YCUjj5BR2J

Naivasha, a freshwater lake in Kenya’s Rift Valley, supports agriculture, tourism, livestock and domestic water use.

But as a stalled Microsoft-G42 data centre project looms nearby, can the lake continue to meet the needs of local communities?

A collection of some of the books the @newhumanitarian team has dug into so far this year. As a good book always does, these have helped us dive deeper, challenged our thinking, opened our eyes wider, and often entertained us along the way.

The clock stopped at 11:00AM on April 23, 2026, as Kenyan environmentalist Hillary Kiplagat Kibiwott completed his tree-planting challenge in Elgeyo-Marakwet County after 24 gruelling hours. This was his Guinness World Records attempt, now awaiting official confirmation.

Kiplagat battled steep terrain, biting cold and exhaustion in the challenge. No sleep. Just one man, a shovel and a refusal to quit.
