Water Harvesting and Land Rehabilitation

Four years of failed rains means that Kenya is now facing its worst drought in decades, causing millions of people, cattle and drops to die. Lack of water, deforestation and soil erosion have left farmers in rural Kenya with dry, barren land, which makes it virtually impossible for them to break the cycle of extreme poverty. These people typically live on less than 20p per day. Without water and food to eat, many of the children suffer from malnutrition.

 Haller’s water programme helps small-holder farmers harvest water, and then use it effectively and safely. Access to water is the first step to helping communities overcome poverty; it underpins food production, health, education, and improved livelihoods.
