Mercy Corps - Uganda

🌱 Through the #PUMPUP Program, #MercyCorps is supporting #farmers in Northern Uganda to embrace #SolarIrrigation to adapt to #ClimateChange. In Partnership with #Enventure & #TulimaSolar, 27 pumps have been purchased in Sept — boosting #ClimateSmartAg & resilient livelihoods! 💧

The UGX 1.8M cost of solar water pumps remains out of reach for many smallholder farmers in Yumbe and Gulu districts. Through the PUMP-UP program, we’re partnering with @CentenaryBank, Gulu Branch to explore solutions that unlock access to solar irrigation.
