“A productive life depends on a simplified technology“
Volta Irrigation is an irrigation scheme solution that provides accessible, affordable, efficient, eco-friendly and reliable irrigation system to smallholder farmers living in rural farming communities in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The Problem
There are 85 million smallholder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa who can’t increase their productivity, crop yield and income due to a lack of affordable and reliable irrigation options. They can’t access existing irrigation systems like solar, and fuel pumps due to its high cost. This limits opportunities for smallholder farmers and hinders their ability to break their cycle of poverty and be self-sufficient. At Volta Irrigation, we believe that when you take away a farmer’s ability to be productive, you take away their dignity. Every farmer deserves to be self-sufficient from farming. That’s why we’re here to change the nature of rural opportunities.
