Nsoula Tata Province
Total Cost: $7,902.80
Community Contribution: $1,975.70
​
Because of a lack of rains, the Nsoula community depends on wells for irrigating their lands. However, the rising cost of energy has impacted about 30 farmers, who are finding it difficult to pay for irrigation due to high electricity bills. As a result, agricultural activities have come to a halt, and the community is unable to make use of the land for  farming. By equipping the well with by solar panels, Nsoula farmers will be able to pay a lower price for water costs, after which they will resume agricultural activity. The project will increase agricultural production for 30 farmers.
