The project will support 1,000 households to sufficiently harvest and safely store rain water, vital in meeting their domestic needs as well as retarding the huge amount of runoff generated after every rainfall incidence.

In the Imo River watershed, a major watershed in south-eastern Nigeria, water quality is retrogressing at an astonishing rate given expansion of agricultural land, deforestation, use of chemical fertilizers and expanding population. Reversing that trend, and protecting endangered ecosystem and its biodiversity over the next couple of years will prove difficult, but not impossible

Increasing changes in rainfall patterns as a result of climate change are already threatening local rice cultivation; it is difficult to plough rice fields after the first rain in Uboma. The project aims to substantially boost rice harvests and raise the income of local rice farmers in Uboma, Nigeria. This will happen through the use of televised instruction and on-the farm adaptive practices to build the capacity of the farmers on structural and management measures.

Aside from being a city developing on a very low lying Niger River Delta as well as being coastal, Port Harcourt city and its environs now more than ever before experience unpredictable high intensity rainfalls. These factors result in mass flooding of neighborhoods. The project aims to engage landlords and artisans (who build latrines) to upgrade existing flood susceptible latrines, mostly pit and pour- flush; to the flood resilient brand, which are the Raised Off-set Pour-flush latrines.
