Ganizani's Story: Empowered by Solar Power

By Francis Mbewe | Project Leader

Ganizani, a resident of Tondweni Village in Chief Kapatamoyo, Chipata, Eastern Province, once struggled to irrigate his farm due to limited access to reliable water sources. The unpredictable rainfall and laborious manual watering methods hindered his agricultural productivity and livelihood.
That changed when Kukula Solar distributed a solar water pump to Ganizani. With the solar-powered pump, Ganizani now effortlessly draws water from a nearby well to nourish his crops, regardless of the season.
Transformative Impact
The solar water pump has:
  • Increased Ganizani's crop yields by 300%, ensuring food security for his family and community.
  • Saved him 4 hours daily, previously spent on manual watering.
  • Enabled him to grow diverse crops, including tomatoes, cabbage and maize.
  • Boosted his income by 50% through increased agricultural sales.
"I no longer worry about rainfall or exhausting manual labor. The solar water pump has transformed my farming experience, allowing me to provide for my family and contribute to my community’s prosperity," says Ganizani.
A Brighter Future
Ganizani's success inspires fellow farmers, demonstrating the potential of sustainable solar technology. As Kukula Solar continues to empower rural communities, stories like Ganizani's illuminate the path toward economic growth, food security and a brighter future for Zambia's agricultural sector.
