Water Security for Farmers                             Bolivia

 

Pasorapa, a community of farmers high in the Andes Mountains of Bolivia, has made an urgent plea for assistance. Droughts from the past two years have led to a near total loss in crops and livestock. Many of Bolivia’s families make their living by farming small plots of land, but a very short rainy season and droughts over the past few years have led to severe losses in income.

MANO A MANO (Hand in Hand) partners with these communities to provide sustainable solutions through water reservoir projects. Where Mano a Mano has constructed water projects, communities have continued to produce crops in dry conditions, and increased their income because they can now grow a greater quantity and quality of produce such as corn and potatoes to sell in city markets.

When you provide sustainable water solutions, drought doesn’t have to force a community of 
farmers into hunger and poverty.
