The aim of this project is to build a drip irrigation system made from
local and culturally appropriate materials in order to increase the crop
yield in Lawra, Ghana. In order to test the viability of this system
before expanding it throughout the country, the irrigation system will
first be built on a plot of land at the Methodist Orphanage and AIDS
Clinic. The women and children in this clinic will be taught how to use
the system, what the benefits of the system are, and how to make the
excess yields of produce profitable. The profits from the produce can be
used to pay for the antiretroviral treatments for the women and children
at the clinic who are infected with HIV/AIDS.
