“Water is the divide between poverty and prosperity.” @JamesThuch of @rainmakerorg shares what he thinks is the biggest mistake we make in addressing the challenge of water scarcity, and how access to water is a pathway to health. https://t.co/Xm1x89UnV6
One shining example is @rainmakerorg, a community-driven innovation that is tackling water insecurity in South Sudan via solar-powered pumps and irrigation systems that bring water for household and agriculture use to areas impacted by conflict, droughts, and flooding.
Using integrated and community-led solutions, supported innovator @rainmakerorg, in collaboration with @WFP_SouthSudan and @WFPInnovation enable remote communities to meet food & water needs locally, reducing migration, & the impacts of the #ClimateCrisis.💦🌾

“Happy 11th Independence Day #SouthSudan.
At @rainmakerorg, we believe “#FoodSecurity is the backbone of stable communities. Investment in agriculture has a far-reaching positive effect on peace, health, & the economy.”
#SustainableAgriculture is the future! #SSOT
Our solar-powered drip irrigation system is a game changer, creating two growing seasons & providing sustainable water for local year-round farming, instead of unreliable rainfall. Through community-led solutions, we're reducing #extremehunger & #waterscarcity from #climatechange
The #Rainmaker farm in Tonj, #SouthSudan, has reached a huge milestone - our first successful dry season harvest using solar-powered irrigation technology.
We’re proud to see this #diversifiedfarm transforming not only the landscape, but also the diet & livelihoods of local #SouthSudanese - increasing #foodsecurity & #climateresilience as our farmers gain skills in using climate-resistant crops & farming techniques.
