Help llama farmers access water to improve pasture
Organization information
Llama Pack Project
Location: URUBAMBA, Peru
Summary
Andean llama farmers rely on rain season to water their crops and pastures. Global Warming effects alter season cycles making farming tasks challenging and unpredictable and reducing pasture quality. Water collection through geo tanks allow llama farmers to irrigate grassland during dry seasons and improve quality of pasture for llamas. Each Geo Tank provides improved nutrition to 70 llamas which generate alternative sources of income for 10 families improving the quality of life of 45 people.
