Harvest Appeal 2024
Give the gift of reliable, clean water – whatever the weather
Mayaman, 55, is from Tigama, a village in Mali, West Africa. She is an experienced market gardener and has been working hard for the last 20 years to grow and sell food to nourish her family and make a living.
But Mali is one of the hottest, driest countries on Earth, and it is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, with rainfall gradually decreasing year on year, and droughts becoming more common. Until recently, growing enough to feed Mayaman's family and earn an income had gone from being difficult, to impossible.
Thanks to a new water tower and four tap stands that we worked alongside Mayaman's village to install, Mayaman and her community now have a climate-resilient clean water supply they can rely on, whatever the weather.
Will your group join us and help more communities have harvests to celebrate, with a reliable supply of clean water?

For Mayaman, having year-round water has been life-changing.
We make two harvests now as we have more water available. We harvested the first round of vegetables, and we have already sold a large part of the second round as well. Previously, many of our vegetables did not grow because of the lack of water, including tomatoes, cabbages, and beets. They all grew well this year.
Thanks to the support of groups like yours, we're working to bring a reliable supply of clean water to more communities – here in Mali, and around the world.
Will you join us in a united effort to ensure more families like Mayaman's have clean water to drink and nourishing food to eat?
