Current International Project - NIGER

For this year's project, SWB will continue to work on irrigation and drinking water storage project in Niger. We are teaming with Rain for the Sahel and Sahara (www.rain4sahara.org) to design and build a well water pump and a storage tank for irrigation water. These tanks must be made with appropriate technology that can be repaired or replaced with locally-available materials. For more information on this project, or to get involved, contact Kim Morris.

Two (2) SWB members have returned from the first site assessment trip to Niger, Africa. Preliminary research that was collected in the winter of 2006 will be used to complete a design. An implementation trip is scheduled for the winter of 2007.

SWB is involved with the Organic Garden Club through the Garden Project. Follow the link for details.
