A practical field session in Mvomero bringing together mothers, youth, and local rice farmers along the paddy field ridges to learn water-saving AWD techniques together!

Our Youth Ambassadors are actively monitoring field demonstration plots—inspecting crop growth, w**d management, and soil moisture following Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) irrigation cycles.

Supported by Youth Mobilization | Union |

Taking learning into the field! Our team demonstrated Alternate Wetting & Drying (AWD) irrigation directly in the rice paddies—helping local farmers save 30% water and boost crop yields.
