In San Luis, Somoto, Nicaragua, members of the community meet for Farm School days with staff from the Lutheran Church in Nicaragua. Here a group is setting up a new plot with drip-fed irrigation. The project is supported by the Evangelic Lutheran Church of America 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. A successful crop of corn is being grown in the background.
