seriously, these type of projects make WAY more sense then the usual 'lets just throw food at the starving masses and completely ignore the underlying problems' aproach. here, the people learn to help themselves, get to keep their pride+dignity....plus, you only have to help *once*, not every time there´s a drought!

Thanks Joseph for teaching me to make these beautiful Dams, Mozambique thanks you. RIP friend.

Go Kenya! Better must come!

Wonderful just Amazing. Bless this group!

Amazing work.God bless your hard work

If you notice they did this as a FOOD for WORK program concept. This means there is a less of a chance of corruption. The best concept to help people.

They need to use permaculture swales on the hillsides. They are ditches the cut across the slope and trap water for newly planted trees. They eventually fill in with humus and dirt to become terraces but they give trees a much better chance in the more challenging climate of Africa. I've seen too where people have used shading techniques on new plants when they are young and establishing deep roots to withstand the dry season, to great effect. They also need to incorporate mulch in the ground, not just on top, because the hot African sun can really make that humus-y stuff disappear quickly through solarization. Good project though. I love this sort of thing. May they keep up the good work!

Thank you Canada

Welcome home

Sand filter cleans the water and the death toll from disease drops greatly.

Well done Africa. We will have a good land for future generations

Amazing harvest runoff water when it rain,ido the to the kids back home I teach the kids to harvest rain water!07

Msuri sana! The slogan should be, "Kidogo, kidogo! Pole, pole!?"....."Small, small. Slowly, slowly." Great video.

If one could, this would certainly be an effort worth supporting. It is amazing what can be done when everyone works together for the good of the earth. : )

The people learned that technique from the elephants. That's how elephants have been finding water for millions of years.

Lordy many surprises the commens but this project like the Loess Plateau in China and the Knepp Estate in the UK show what nature will do if you allow her natural processes to return with a little help from people initially. This may look like a food programme but in time these people and this project will become self sufficient. As Schumacher said 'Small is Beautiful'. These people who live on the land have helped themselves and the land. These Reforestation, Permaculture and Rewilding Projects give me great hope for the future. Thank you for sharing. I hope other charities et al will follow this model?

Blessings. Shalom.🙏

PREKRASNO❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ BEAUTIFUL❤❤❤❤❤❤

この地にトラクターとショベルカーを導入して植林活動と水源を掘り起こす作業に取り掛かるべきです‼️

Any more follow ups

This is only a beginning Hundred such Sand Dams or A newer Tech Rubber Dams needs to be built across Kenya

Plant tall,spreading shadows useful trees more &more, Will give welfare.Also impart education to all.

❤️🇹🇷

Also if they are provided gasifier biomass burning stoves then there will be even greater benefits of health and environment.

He it is Who sends down water from the sky; from it you drink and from it the vegetation on which you send your cattle to pasture. With it He causes to grow for you the crops, the olives, the date palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit. Verily, in this is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for a people who give thought. (Al-Quran, Surah An-Nahl: 10-11)

Increased CO2 ie plant food is having a large impact on crops record harvests all over the world

Mennonites in Kenya !!!! For water…!!! Are you serious !!!!!!!

PERMACULTURE AND NO TILL

J

The speaker told a nice story like the local people knew better that the use of a sand dam is..... they suffered for years and somehow they know now better.... I dont like it then someone tells lies even little one

Africa have his own Seed Data , why you are introducing your seed ?

Water given so they convert! There is no such thing as a free drink

What's with showing dancing and singing were they asked to perform or are we to believe that this is done routinely when about to engage in work. Such films belong to a different age not in the 21st century.

Instead of building walls of hate to keep people out, this idea of the great green wall is amazing.

They must learn stop ploughing their fields and put carbon back into their soil

Gambioms are cheaper

God gives wisdom and I hope someday african people turn to God and repent and ask for wisdom blessing then they will have a good life.
