The valley of the Murghob river in Tajikistan is prone to natural disasters as a future earthquake may cause landslides or even breach the natural Usoi dam that forms Lake Sarez, unleashing about 17 cubic kilometres of water down the valley. For this reason, Focus humanitarian assistance operates a number of disaster preparedness programmes. In this photo, people are walking across a footbridge built by Focus after its formal inauguration. The bridge was built to give villagers access to other areas.
