    New water reservoirs will help prevent drought and famine

    In order to ensure food production in the arid Burkina Faso you need to be able to store water between the rain periods.

    Beekeeping a way of saving Mali's ecosystem

    In order to preserve Mali’s threatened forests, people need to find new ways of supporting themselves. instead of cutting down trees, villagers are given the opportunity to invest in beekeeping, animal husbandry or horticulture. The extra incomes make women and men less vulnerable when drought strikes, at the same time as forest resources are not overexploited.
