Pastoralists are diversifying into agro-pastoralism using solar-irrigation technology to produce vegetables and fruits in Moyale Sub-County, Kenya. Since 2018, Islamic Relief has been working with the Moyale Sub-County Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to promote food production. Islamic Relief set up farmers&#039; groups and supported them to improve their skills and knowledge around farming methods and adapting to climate change. 300 farmers also received assorted drought-resistant seeds and farm tools. &nbsp; Improving access to water Islamic Relief supported the community in Dabel Location to access water for farming, livestock and domestic use. IRK repaired shallow wells and built a mega-dam that stores rainwater for irrigation during the dry season, helping crops thrive in all seasons. The farmers also received 10 water tanks, each with a capacity of 5,000 litres. In addition, an operations and management committee was set up and received essential training to help manage the community&rsquo;s water resources. 20 acres of land around the Moyale mega-dam is now farming land.&nbsp; The farms are supplied with water via solar power, with driplines feeding directly onto the plants to optimize water use and reduce losses. Various crops ranging from maize, beans, kales, onions, tomatoes, pepper and fruit trees such as papayas and bananas are being grown. &quot;Initially, the area under crop production in Dabel was approximately 4 acres because of the limited access to water. The support of Islamic Relief has increased the size under crop production to around 36 acres&rdquo;, says David Muturia, Moyale Sub-County Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries Officer. &nbsp;He adds that &ldquo;We have observed an increase in the number of groups engaged in farming. We previously had 3 groups, and now we have more than 15 groups involved in horticultural activities.&rdquo; Muturia explains that &ldquo;The farmers can now harvest and sell kales 3 times a week for 3 months, earning them approximately Kshs. 6,000 &ndash; 7,000 per month from selling kales. Able farmers are replicating the crop production techniques introduced. &quot;\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/annualreport.islamic-relief.org\/2021\/our-vision-and-strategy\/#webpage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/annualreport.islamic-relief.org\/2021\/our-vision-and-strategy\/\",\"name\":\"Our vision and strategy - Islamic Relief 21annual report\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/annualreport.islamic-relief.org\/2021\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/annualreport.islamic-relief.org\/2021\/our-vision-and-strategy\/#primaryimage\"},\"datePublished\":\"2020-10-23T11:18:59+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-06-22T11:02:44+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/annualreport.islamic-relief.org\/2021\/our-vision-and-strategy\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/annualreport.islamic-relief.org\/2021\/our-vision-and-strategy\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/annualreport.islamic-relief.org\/2021\/our-vision-and-strategy\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/annualreport.islamic-relief.org\/2021\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Our vision and strategy\"}]}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Our vision and strategy - Islamic Relief 21annual report","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/annualreport.islamic-relief.org\/2021\/our-vision-and-strategy\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Our vision and strategy - Islamic Relief 21annual report","og_description":"Our vision and strategy Inspired by the Islamic faith and guided by our values, we envisage a caring world where communities are empowered, social obligations are fulfilled, and people respond as one to the suffering of others.
