Relieving hunger in Africa has to begin with access to clean water. It may seem simple, but we forget that without water, food is impossible to grow and difficult to preserve and prepare. It takes huge amounts of water to grow food.

Water is fundamental to relieving hunger in the developing world. Often times, areas that experience a lack of water suffer because of poor water management. That is usually an economic issue that can be addressed. We are working on projects that not only provide clean drinking water but also make crop production possible.

Water collection systems, such as weirs (sand dams) can actually benefit crop production by raising the ground water levels. These dams trap rain water on the few rainy days of the year. This water is collected and stored for drinking and the rest seeps into the ground and creates more fertile fields. Simple irrigation is also possible.
