Ulimi Irrigation

of using the irrigation system will be for the farmers to vary the types of food they grow. Maize can be grown on half their plot but the rest of the land has to be used for a mixture of other vegetables including tomoatos, carrots, peppers, potatoes and beans. This will dramatically reduce food prices in the surrounding area, as well as providing jobs on the farms and helping to improve lives in the community. With an excess of food in this area the community will be able to export food to other areas in the country that are further from the lake. We intend to initially start this project in Cape Maclear, Mangochi District on a small scale and expand the scheme as quickly as funding will allow across the area. Eventually the dream is to provide water to farmlands in every community close to the lake and thus increase Malawi's food production enough to end malnutrition completely and substantially reduce poverty.
