  • Kum Van Nguyen (48) is a farmer in Number 18 Village, Nguyen Phich commune, in the southern province of Ca Mau in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta. He lives with his wife Giau Kim Ly, two of their five children and four grandchildren. Rising sea levels, salt water intrusion and climate change are threatening the farming and fishing-dependent communities in the low-lying Delta. Oxfam and partners are supporting some of the province’s poorest and most vulnerable families by introducing renewable energy systems to save them time and money and help them to develop sustainably. Pictured: Kum Van Nguyen with his pigs used for environmentally friendly biogas production - the biogas system produces all the gas they need for cooking and they no longer spend lots of time collecting wood for burning and making charcoal.

  • Hien Thi Tran (55) lives with her extended family in Number 1 Village, Khanh Hoi commune, in the southern province of Ca Mau in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta. The coastal village is extremely vulnerable to rising sea levels, salt water intrusion and climate change, which are disrupting the lives of farming and fishing-dependent communities throughout the low-lying Delta. Hien says: “When we first moved to this farm 10 years ago it was good living. But now it gets worse and worse because the sea keeps flooding in. Every year our rice fields flood and sometimes the water even comes into the house as high as my knee. We have to pump it out. We used to grow rice and vegetables but for the last few years this has been impossible – the soil is very salty."
