Summary
Iraqi farmers depend on irrigation networks to supply water to their farms.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
The south central region is the prime agricultural area in Iraq and the majority of farmers depend on irrigation networks to supply water to their farms.
How will this project solve this problem?
This project will purchase and supply diesel powered water pumps to farmer’s cooperatives that are already being set up.
Potential Long Term Impact
Water pumps will increase Iraqi food production while generating sustainable economic growth -- two critical factors for improving the livelihoods of hundreds of Iraqi farmers.
Project Message
This simple gesture will have a huge impact on farmers in the south. The gift of a single water pump will provide farmers with the necessary means to restart their lives.
