Mai Jange, one of the farmers that EarthLore is accompanying in Masasire, Bikita, could not wait to share with the EarthLore team how her water harvesting structures are performing. Masasire is an area that is very hot, water-parched and the soils are baked. These impressive photos give a sense of the scale of the work that has been guided by Julius Piti of PORETO.
As Gertrude Pswarayi, one of EarthLore’s custodians observed: “I could sense a lot of joy and accomplishment from Mai Jange and other farmers who dug swales, pitbeds, earth dams and more during the dry season between July and September this year. Many more farmers desire to harvest water by learning from these few farmers who have now become land priests.”
May these hard working farmers be rewarded with bumper crops this growing season and into the future…. .
