Konso ladies showcasing the camaraderie and strength of their community in Ethiopia. In this place of rest, an old woman of the Konso shares her wisdom with younger generations. The traditional houses with thatched roofs paint a picturesque scene in the village, nestled amidst farmland on the mountain slopes. Red flowers add vibrant pops of color to the Konso landscape, where a traditional village sits proudly on a ridge overlooking the breathtaking rift valley. Inside family compounds, generations come together to preserve their rich heritage. However, challenges like soil erosion persist in Konso's territory within the Rift Valley. Yet, through determination and resilience, dry farming techniques are employed on terraces carved into steep mountainsides – a testament to their resourcefulness.
