Ghana - Fuveme - Villagers carry the bricks of a house that has just been demolished by high tide, they try to save as many as possible in order to rebuild the house in a safer area further away from the sea.<br />

Nestled between the ocean and the Volta river estuary, the village of Fuvemeh has seen its territory reduced from several kilometers to few hundred meters. Nowadays, the villages sits on a narrow strip of land which separates the coastline from the adjacent lagoon. Haunted by coastal erosion, its 1,000 inhabitants have literally nowhere to move.
