Curious Saturday: A solar pump that transformed a farm and a life
Josephine Waweru, a smallholder farmer in rural Kenya, endured grueling days hauling water uphill — until a single innovation changed everything. A solar-powered pump brought water directly to her crops, boosting yield, cutting costs, and enabling her to diversify into fish farming and new crops. Now she urges leaders to support climate-smart tools, empowering farmers to build both resilience and livelihoods in an uncertain future.
This isn’t just about irrigation — it’s about proving how sustainable technology and thoughtful investment can uplift communities and combat climate risk.
