* Residents say sometimes they go two weeks without clean water
* Researchers warn digging wells deeper could turn freshwater saline
LAMU, Kenya, June 28 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - When Hellen Achieng’ moved from a village near Lake Victoria to an island off of Kenya’s coast, she never imagined she would have trouble finding the one resource she took for granted at her old home: water.
Eating lunch with her two daughters, Achieng’, who mines coral for a living, explained there is only one well on Manda Island, so residents rely on a weekly delivery of freshwater by boat from nearby Lamu Island.

Eating lunch with her two daughters, Achieng', who mines coral for a living, explained there is only one well on Manda Island, so residents rely on a weekly delivery of freshwater by boat from nearby Lamu Island.
But a months-long dry spell has made the supply unreliable - sometimes two weeks go by between deliveries, she said. And when the water does arrive, each household is limited to 40 litres at a time, she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.

10 hijab-wearing women you should be following on Instagram


fronts, recently starring in campaigns with brands such as Dove and Torrid.
'Unashamed: Musings of a Fat, Black Muslim' by Leah Vernon
In an interview with
The National, Vernon admits
that she isn’t your "typical" modest fashion blogger: “I call them the ‘perfect Instagram hijabi’. They always wear pastels or earth tones. They have the perfect husband and the perfect kids. They are the kind of folks who don’t have many worries in life. They are usually white-passing and thin. It’s sad how Muslim women have become monoliths. Muslims aren’t ‘one size fits all.’” By opening up about her personal life and challenges and sharing her musings on social media, Vernon is diversifying conversations and assumptions around Muslim women.

"It's all about modesty for me. As a Muslim, being modest is a major thing and I just wanted to showcase to everyone that you can be modest and be into fashion because the hijab itself - apart from representing Islam - represents beauty."
Ikram Abdi Omar was the UK's first hijab-wearing model to feature on the cover of Vogue at the age of 21 and became the face of Burberry in 2019.
The Swedish-born Somali model, now 23 and living in Bristol, said her heritage and religious beliefs have greatly influenced her modelling career.
