When floods and storms rage across Africa, scientists track rainfall and map danger zones—but they often overlook the human cost. Enter Wema: a groundbreaking project that blends climate data with raw, personal stories from communities in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Mozambique, and South Africa. Trained by local researchers who’ve lived through disasters, participants use art and storytelling to reveal fears, losses, and resilience that surveys miss. From a woman haunted by collapsing walls to a Kenyan displaced by floods, these voices uncover the deep psychological scars of extreme weather—and how communities heal. Wema doesn’t just listen; it empowers locals to analyze their own experiences, turning pain into policy, and ensuring mental health and disaster response are built on real, lived realities.
