A healthy crop of flowering maize In San Luis, Somoto, Nicaragua. Here the community meets for Farm School days with staff from the Lutheran Church in Nicaragua. Maryan Alvarez helps put a drip-fed irrigation system in place. The project is supported by ELCA and provides the community groups with a solar-powered pump that brings up water from 45m deep and a drip irrigation system for the cultivation of maize that they grow collectively in the village, as a response to the prolonged drought and many failed harvests the region is suffering.
