These children are drawing water from one of two deep water wells in their village. The village needs two more water wells |
Today, November 1st, a second step begins to lead farmers towards entrepreneurial independence.
During a recent Malawi Farmers Inc. board meeting in November 2018, the organization addressed the good work of having three (2) new deep water wells working efficiently to meet basic needs, the group decided that having more water wells directly connected to village farm areas for irrigation is still a big need for the upcoming planting season.
The group is now addressing the fundraising needs for additional water wells to irrigate their newly sown crops.
The benefits increase dramatically when farmers can irrigate their land and hydrate their animals. Raising crops at a subsistence level is not enough; farmers must increase the quantity and quality of crops so they can market them. They have sown improved quality seeds for maize, millet, sorghum, peas, rice, cotton to name a few. Irrigation will given them more of a sale value for these crops.
Certain crops have a better yield on certain types of land. So bringing irrigation from a few wells to farm land that is not close to the wells is still a problem. The two new wells have changed the labor intensiveness of traveling a distance to retrieve water but it is still a considerable inconvenience. Two additional deep water wells will help the farmers irrigate their crops.
Moving towards helping the farmers move from subsistence farming (what they grow to the table) to entrepreneurial farming (marketing their crops) is the economic goal.

Our First Priority - To dig deep water wells in the village that is accessible to all families for drinking, cooking, washing, hydrating animals and crops. The joy expressed in the above photo is not the joy of having a luxury, but of having a necessity that alters the whole of life.
