Sorghum is thriving 🌾 — even without rain.
--> Swipe to see the change on the ground in Dassenech, where farmers are reaching the seed formation stage thanks to solar-powered irrigation.
No rainfall. 33°C heat.
Yet the fields are green.
That’s the power of #ClimateResilience.
Behind the scenes:
– Women and men lead water distribution 🌱
– Seedlings are nearly ready for transplant
– New infrastructure protects our pump and tools
And this is just the beginning.
Thank you to our donors, including Commune de Meyrin and Ville de Lancy, for helping turn drought into opportunity.
