Project #50162: Empower 30 Malawian Families with Solar Irrigation by Eagles Relief and Development Programme International
Find below the status of the Project #50162 with a goal to empower 30 Malawian Families with Solar Irrigation.
The project will be implemented in Balaka District, Southern Région of Malawi.
With the fundraising goal of $50,000 to be raised to enable Eagles establish a solar irrigation system that would support 30 Malawian Families to grow crops throughout the year, $24,673 has so far been raised. For this we are very grateful.
To enable Eagles effectively set up the irrigation system more funds are needed to be raised to enable procurement of the equipment for the system.
Set up of the entire system requires at least $26,667 which comprises various components including the drilling of the boreholes, purchasing of solar panels, construction of a powerhouse for housing the water pumps, procurement of pipes and other accessories.
Once the system budget is fully met, Eagles will proceed to conduct:
More donations are needed to reach our fundraising goal of $50,000.
In terms of implemention time, the month of April is the best period to set up the scheme. Hence the urgent need to raise the remaining funding balance. That way farmers can grow crops and harvest twice this year alone.
Consultation with Government, and getting staff ready with the planning of the implementation of the project, have been going on.
Thank you for your support this far.
Yours sincerely
Victor Mughogho
Project Leader.
