This is Faysal, a beneficiary of our climate-smart project, who shares a compelling account of how this project has transformed his farming. Due to climate change, finding water became increasingly difficult. Hand-dug wells had to be excavated deeper, and relying on rainwater proved unsustainable because of prolonged droughts. As a result, many farmers, including Faysal, abandoned their agricultural production.
However, our climate-smart project gave him both the motivation and the opportunity to restart his farming—using our support as the foundation for his renewed agricultural journey. Faysal learned innovative farming techniques and received essential tools and seeds. Now, he is reaping the rewards of his hard work, with renewed optimism and a vision to expand his farm.
