The water tank she once used to irrigate her garden was damaged by shelling and could no longer be used. Water shortages in Donetsk are the result of multiple challenges, including damaged infrastructure, energy disruptions and reduced access to main water sources.
In response, we delivered drip irrigation kits to more than 120 households across six settlements last year, helping families like Natalia’s to continue growing their crops despite the ongoing water scarcity. To help Natalia, we teamed up with our local operational partner in Donetsk to provide her with a new 1,000-litre water tank and a drip irrigation system.
“Last year, I struggled to grow vegetables because we didn’t have enough water. Relying on rain alone wasn’t enough. Now, with this drip irrigation system, it will be so much easier to care for my plants,” Natalia said.
