Sisters on the Planet – Sahena's story

The annual monsoon rains in Bangladesh are getting heavier and more unpredictable – last year's floods were the worst in decades, affecting nine million people – but few people can have encountered a force of nature quite like Sahena Begum. Fiercely determined, she is spearheading community efforts to deal with changing weather in Kunderpara village.
