Project Description Region: Africa Country: Uganda Location: Nkondo, Budiope County Total Budget: $42,400 Areas of Focus: Water, sanitation and hygiene, Community economic development View Online Proposal Form This is follow up project to GG25002, Nkondo Adopt a Village, which included a water component that also covers micro-irrigation. The Nkondo community is basically a rural agriculture community, and the objective of the new project is to expand the scope of irrigation during the dry season, thus maximising returns from high yield crops by marketing outside peak seasons: the challenge of most agricultural communities in Uganda is that they all plant at the same time during the rains; harvest at the same time, and sell when prices are at their lowest. This project will help in the establishment of several small scale valley dams (to be excavated by the community) set up with suitable plastic sheeting underlayers to ensure water retention. A related component will dwell on product storage so that selling during peak production seasons is avoided. See photos of an existing "valley dam" on the "Photos" tab.
