Total cash payments during 2023 for irrigation systems and materials were 34,231.

After engaging with awp, participating farmers regularly double or even triple their lands yield in just 4 years. 72 new windmills were installed during 2023. Key performance indicators: farmers that have implemented irrigation agriculture are food secure. Farmers are completely self-sufficient (not relying on outside aid for inputs). Farmers have increased their income and garden sizes. The farmers are planning and preparing for next season. Families are able to store grain for food security later and for staggered sales to local markets to increase their income. Farmers use income generated from irrigation agriculture to improve living conditions (replacing roofs, flooring, sun-dried bricks are replaced with fired bricks, and they have added doors and windows). Farmers that have not worked with awp are utilizing irrigation agriculture based upon observation and conversations with neighboring communities (the trainings are self-replicating without awp). Awp continues to raise awareness in the united states about sustainable support that empowers families to become food secure.
