Dramatic Success After One Growing Season
Veronica Sianchenga was one of the first in her village to buy the Mosi-o-Tunya, a locally manufactured treadle pump developed by iDE Zambia in response to the needs of local customers. It costs less than imported pumps and produces a higher output because it was designed for the specific local topography of rural Zambia. Using their Mosi-o-Tunya, Veronica's family has already started reaping the benefits of additional income from irrigated produce thanks to iDE's links to wholesalers and caterers in Livingstone.
Hard work and keen entrepreneurial instincts have resulted in a dramatically improved quality of life for Veronica and her family. In less than one year, she has been able to build a new house and send all of her children to school. But don't just take our word for it, check out Veronica's story in this from one of our recent visits to her farm.
