Creating awareness among youth about the problems that have been raising with each passing day because of humans’ non-judicial utility. Desertification is one of those issues, in simpler terms it refers to the transformation of fertile or useful land into barren, dead and deserted, one where survival and existence of flora and fauna becomes tough. Drought whereas refers to prolonged dry period in the natural climate cycle that can occur anywhere in the world. It is a slow onset disaster characterized by the lack of precipitation, resulting in water shortage thus making a land barren, hence deserted.
