Millennium Fellowship Project: Sustainable Stream-water Harvesting in Rwanda
This project is intended to help people living near streams exploit that resource and fight food insecurity in a sustainable way. Those people are still facing the problem of food insecurity due to drought while having streams that can be exploited for irrigation. This project helps those people get cheap and environmental friendly means of irrigation, especially gravity-based means.
