Children play under a healthy, irrigation-fed, crop of maize In San Luis, Somoto, Nicaragua. Here the community meets for Farm School days with staff from the Lutheran Church in Nicaragua. 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.
