West Pokot, at the edge of the Rift Valley in Kenya, where luscious green mountains meet scorched savannah.
The Kenyan Ministry of Health is supporting families with malnourished children across the county.

Distance, siblings at home, the unfamiliar town and hospital all make seeking life-saving treatment difficult. These photos are part of a photo essay that explores the Pokot’s life between traditional and modern Kenya.
