Smallholder farmers, particularly women, face challenges due to water scarcity and the high cost of irrigation, exacerbated by climate change. This project designs a Solar Powered Irrigation Systems (SPIS) backed by a "pay as you irrigate" business model. The initiative aims to close the gap between solar irrigation technologies and smallholder farmers, by providing affordable and sustainable irrigation solutions which empower women, improve water management, and enhance food security.
