Your gift is making some sweet things happen in Somalia.
Working with Somali farmers in the region of Luuq and Harokowad, our team are running agricultural projects aimed to ensure communities are best prepared for a successful growing season and harvest.
Under the shade of beautiful big lemon trees, the team conduct learning sessions for the following:
- Land preparation and soil management
- Correct plant spacing for optimum growth plant spacing
- Irrigation and water mnanagement
- Crop protection from both pests and disease
- Drought recovery strategies for soil and crops
Squeeze this way :)
Somalia is facing its worst drought in 40 years!
In the last few years, livelihoods, crops and therefore food sources have been decimated by drought and the ever-changing climate. A large part of our programming plans is for seed and tool distributions, but there's no point planting seeds if there's no water.
Thankfully your gift is very adaptable and recently, that's what we've done.
The community all hopes for a strong upcoming 'Gu' season (rainy season). But they explained that they could not take the risk of the drought destroying another year's harvest. We were able to adapt the plans a little to now include irrigation support and water harvesting.
Over the coming months we're looking forward to seeing your gift grow, literally.
In places like Somalia, your gift is helping farmers and communities build and grow a future.
