In Zimbabwe, Access to Water Creates Opportunities
In 2024, Zimbabwe faced severe drought conditions, particularly in Matabeleland South and North, where agriculture is crucial for rural communities.

Success Story: RAISING PIGS — AND A FAMILY — IN GHANA
Simon Apa is a 39-year-old farmer in Ghana. For years, he struggled to provide for his wife and three children — but, fortunately, that hasn’t been the case since he started raising pigs.
