Abstract
The Planting for Progress project is installing solar powered pumping equipment to irrigate crops. This is combined with skills training and improved seeds, which will improve food production and incomes for farmers in Zimbabwe. This enables them to move from reliance on food aid to self-sufficiency. Activities include
Access to the best seeds for arid land and climate
Irrigation with solar powered water pumping systems
Training in the better land management
Building business skills so farmers collectively plan what they grow and when and where to sell it for maximum income
Empowering women to have a greater say in decisions that affect their lives
