The Niagara Warehouse of Hope's Project Harvest irrigation project is now in its sixth year. This project involves working with our partner organizations in over 30 communities in the poorest parts of Guatemala. More than 250 gardens have been installed in the first five years. The "sweat hose irrigation system" used is simple. Water is gravity-fed from a raised barrel into a perforated hose embedded in a prepared garden plot. The barrel is filled once a day, from the nearest source of water (river, stream or surface well). These systems allow subsistence farmers to grow fresh produce for their own consumption, with surplus vegetables used for sale or trade. Considerable knowledge has been imparted to the participants and this knowledge is shared with new participants. Ecological agriculture is promoted through the use of mulch, composting, etc. This provides a variety in the diet of campesinos. Nutritional education is also provided. The majority of our participants are women, reflecting the important role they play in feeding their families.
