17 June is International Desertification and Drought Day. This year's United Nations motto is: "Restore the land. Unlock the opportunities." - Make land fertile again. Unlock the opportunities.
For us at Institute Water for Africa, this is far more than just a slogan. It describes exactly what we want to achieve with our projects in Africa. Without water, there is no agriculture, no food, no prospects - only migration, poverty and hopelessness.
Our response to desertification and drought
- We provide access to clean water, for example through wells and rainwater utilisation
- We train people in the sustainable use of water resources.
- We realise drip irrigation and other efficient systems that make do with little water.
In this way, we help to make land usable again - and create real opportunities locally. Every drop counts. Every donation helps to plant hope.
