Metsi a Ditlou is a youth-led, community-owned project working to reduce human-elephant conflict by building a sustainable, solar-powered water pond along an elephant corridor in Botswana's Okavango region.
The pilot sets out to build one water pond, train ten youth guardians, engage a village, and reach two hundred community members and students.
Okavango · dry seasonDuring the dry season, natural water sources can dry up, pushing elephants to leave protected areas in search of water. That search can lead to damaged crops, broken village boreholes, and real safety concerns for communities.
Metsi a Ditlou addresses this at the root — by giving elephants an alternative water source away from where people live.
