The project will aim to mitigate climate change effects in the semi-arid Umande location of Laikipia by using renewable energy for water pumping and water purification while also utilizing runoff for biodiversity conservation and tree planting in small holder farms. The project will install one water pump in a shallow community well, improve sixty 50 m3 household farm ponds to support agroforestry and micro-irrigation of vegetable gardens, establish two farms ponds and vegetable gardens at two schools, establish four community nurseries, plant 150,000 tree seedlings at schools, on farms, and in woodlots, install 120 drip irrigation systems, install 200 energy saving stoves, and introduce solar water purification into 300 homes.
