Farmer Led Irrigation Development Project
Town of Maru, Raya Chercher District, Southern Tigray
Raya Development Foundation purchased a submersible pump set to assist 35 households (80 farmers) in Maru, Raya Chercher, in setting up an irrigation system. This system will help ensure sustainable food security for their households and the surrounding area by mitigating the effects of recurring crop failures caused by unpredictable rainfall patterns. RDF Canada spent over 4 million Ethiopian birr (40 thousand Canadian dollars) on the pump set and consulting fees.
