Funding facilities for 2 eco-communities in Niger
This is Niger, located south of Algeria and Libya and 80% made from Sahara and Sahelā¦ In other words, the desert!
Access to water is a challenge for a large part of the population. The poverty rate was 41.4% in 2019, meaning more than 9.5 million people.
Self-sufficiency is the right way thatās why Seed wants to support the construction and equipment for two eco-communities. This project would also be a real solution for women and girls mainly in charge of water supply and cereal grinding.
- water supply by Rotary drilling, a method implying to dig tens metres deep to bring water to surface and store it in a water tower (5 cubic meters capacity). The water tower will have a solar panel pump allowing self-sufficiency for at least 500 people.
- a cereal mill to grind millet, sorghum and other local cereals in a few minutesĀ instead of several hours now with a mortar!
- a vegetable garden (cabbages, tomatoes, bell peppers, moringas) with an orchardĀ ā mango, orange and lemon trees ā which is good for food diversification. Moreover, people could sell crop surplus to nearby markets.
Total budget: 20 000 ā¬
Via Seed CharityĀ
