Solar-Powered Irrigation To Benefit The Elderly

The Fortune of the Elderly (Trace) is spearheading a solar-powered irrigation project meant to benefit the elderly and orphans.

Mariyeti Mpala, Director of Trace indicated that the horticulture irrigation scheme is for the elderly and pensioners in Sizinda and Tshabalala high-density suburbs in Bulawayo.

The director also revealed that the project is being funded by the United States government through the Ambassador Self-Help Project.
