Kenya is experiencing its worst floods in three generations, with Lake Victoria's water levels reaching a 56-year high since 1964.
Grandmother Millicent Agata's small farm in Khadundu village, Busia county, has been completely submerged, leaving her family with nothing.
"The water came and swept away our houses and everything we owned; we came here with nothing. We are in great need of assistance, especially food," Agata said, as she prepared a meal for her grandchildren.
At least 194 people have been killed, and 100,000 displaced, with the government warning of further devastation.
Locusts have also invaded the region, exacerbating the crisis.
"Now we don't have anywhere to farm, we don't have anywhere to build our houses," said Casper Ajuma, a local official.
For fishermen like Michael Arakwa, the floods have been catastrophic.
"This is one of the biggest disasters we have ever witnessed here in Bunyala," he said.
Environmental campaigners blame climate change for the disaster, citing deforestation and poor land management as contributing factors.
"The floods, the drought, the wildfires that we see are a result of the climate crisis," said Amos Wemanya, a campaigner for Greenpeace Africa. "We don't have time to waste."
