I met Galgalo Waqo in Waye Godha, a village in Sololo, at Kenya's border with Ethiopia. He's lived a full life, from working as a farm hand in Githunguri when much younger, to leading a self help group in Sololo today. He doesn't just sit around waiting for age to catch up with him, but is quite active, encouraging neighbours and friends to form self help groups, save as little as Kshs20/- and put it in a pool where the money can be used to benefit members. It's not just lip service: his group has over Kshs200,000/- in the account and they plan to buy a boda boda to help them grow their savings. This is thanks to the training he's received from @food4thehungry #endingpovertytogether #FHKenya #Marsabit #Sololo #WayeGodha #african_portraits (at Sololo, Eastern, Kenya)

A mother holds her new born at a manyatta in North Horr, Marsabit. With no health facilities for miles and poor road infrastructure, @food4thehungry have been working with partners to take vaccines, immunisations and other medical services to people living in hard to reach corners of Marsabit. With their health in check, residents can concentrate on engaging in economic activities to keep poverty at bay. #endingpovertytogether #FHKenya #Marsabit #NorthHorr

Kikuletwa Hot Springs are an oasis, a spot of lush green vegetation surrounded by semi arid lands. #OnetouchLive #Onetouchlive_Chala #KikuletwaHotSprings#Kikuletwa (at Kikuletwa hot springs)

The best way to enter the Kikuletwa Hot Springs is via this rope. Hold it tight and at the end of your swing, let go... Gravity will take over and gently lower you into the warm azure waters that are so clear you can see the bottom of the pools. At one corner of the pools, fish will give you a pedicure as they exfoliate your feet. It will be ticklish at first but make a great experience. #OnetouchLive #Onetouchlive_Chala #KikuletwaHotSprings #Kikuletwa (at Kikuletwa hot springs)

The highlight of our @onetouchlive trip to Tanzania two weeks ago was discovering Kikuletwa Hot Springs. They're somewhere between Arusha and Moshi, off the road at Boma la Ng'ombe. . The waters are turquoise. No photoshop here. And there's a rope which one can swing on to get into the naturally heated waters. I think this place takes the crown of the best doof mpararo location in East Africa. . Google doesn't have a clear route to the springs, but if you ask anyone at Boma la Ng'ombe 'mahali pa maji yanayochemka', they'll be glad to direct you. #OnetouchLive #Onetouchlive_Chala #Kikuletwa #KikuletwaHotSprings (at Kikuletwa)

Always thankful for the opportunities @onetouchlive gives to document the beauty of Africa. (at Boma La Ngombe, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania)

Last Wednesday, on our way back to Nairobi from Kikuletwa Hot Springs, we saw this sunset that went on and on for years... The more the sun went down, the more glorious it became. Add a disused railway to the mix and silhouettes of people going about their day and you'll understand why we just kept on shooting and eventually got back to Nairobi at 3am. #OnetouchLive #Onetouchlive_Chala #IG_Africa #african_portraits (at Boma La Ngombe, Kilimanjaro, Tanzania)

Kilimanjaro's Kibo Peak glows in sunset light. We'd just finished doof mpararoing at Kikuletwa Hot Springs and were on our way back to Nairobi. As we drove over a railway, we noticed the sunset was exceptionally spectacular to our left. And right ahead of us, Kibo was catching a glimpse of the sunset too. We were torn between shooting the sunset on the railway and Kilimanjaro. So we shot both. #OnetouchLive #Onetouchlive_Chala #Kilimanjaro

The shores of Lake Chala, Tanzania. These waters are my best doof mpararo location in East Africa. What's yours? #OnetouchLive #Onetouchlive_Chala #LakeChala #Tanzania (at Lake Chala)

Where did the sunset find you yesterday? Across some disused rail tracks somewhere between Moshi and Arusha for me, some @onetouchlive colleagues and friends. We'd found and swam in Kikuletwa Hot Springs, 20km south of Boma la Ng'ombe and were on our way back to Nairobi. We got back at around 4am this morning, tired, muscles sore from all the swimming but happy to have discovered a beautiful gem in Tanzania. More later. #OnetouchLive #Onetouchlive_Chala #Sunset

Where did today's sunrise find you? For me and @henrywamai it was Lake Chala. #OnetouchLive #Onetouchlive_Chala #LakeChala (at Lake Chala)

Looking forward to a brighter day. Nairobi National Park. (at Nairobi National Park)
