In the town of Naramam in West Pokot, Kenya, climate change is wreaking havoc on the lives of women farmers who depend on the land for food, income and survival. The rainy seasons are getting shorter and shorter, and access to much-needed water for drinking and for crops is scarce.
But with your help, women farmers are learning adaptation strategies to combat the impacts of climate change and to secure their families' survival. For example, MADRE and our local partners train Indigenous women to harvest rainwater to last through droughts. And great news! Just two weeks ago, we delivered four new rainwater harvesting tanks for women farmers in Naramam—thanks to your support!
Here are some photos of the women with their new water tanks.
Thank you so much for your support of this vital project! With your support, women and girls can spend less time hauling water from distant, dwindling streams. And families will have enough daily water to drink and to nourish their crops.
