The issue of water scarcity affects nearly all facets of life for people living in drylands. Looking at the case of the Kwainyoe self-help group in Kenya, we see how a sand dam helps to remove so many burdens that can weigh heavily on dryland communities: sanddamsworldwide.org.uk/blog/sand-dams…

sheer stupidity, NOT ONE child has been killed by eating any poisonous plant or mushroom for the last century!!!! BUT we kill HUNDREDS of children annually on our roads

“The community did not have the knowledge on how to harvest water and so people had such water scarcity... so we decided to mobilise and do something.” Read about how farmers like Joshua and Jenifer are transforming their own lives with sand dams sanddamsworldwide.org.uk/blog/a-word-fr…
