Water Harvesting for Drought Resilience

Capturing scarce rainfall for people, livestock and crops so communities can withstand recurring drought.

When the rains fail, families walk long distances for water and herds perish. Water scarcity also fuels tension between communities who share the same wells and pans.

What we do

  • Community water pans and rock catchments
  • Household rainwater harvesting
  • Water-point management committees that include women
  • Linking water access to peace agreements on shared resources

Every litre captured during the short rains extends the time a family can stay in place with its livestock — protecting livelihoods, school attendance and community peace.
