Some have called water scarcity the challenge of the 21st century. This certainly is the case in Niger, one of the driest and poorest countries in the world, where families are plagued by chronic water and food shortages.
The situation is compounded by climate change, and the consequences range from child malnourishment to poor education.
Solutions can be seen in small-scale, easy-to-use irrigation projects directly to rural families in an effort to break the cycle of repeated water and food emergencies and to improve the West African nation¹s prospects for long-term development.
