A single, community-managed, solar-powered water pond along a known elephant corridor — an alternative water source that keeps elephants away from farms and homes.
The project proposes constructing one community-managed, solar-powered water pond along an identified elephant corridor — creating water for elephants while helping reduce crop raiding and community safety risks.
A solar pump is intended to keep running costs low and support the long-term sustainability of the pond. There is no fuel to buy and no grid to depend on — just the one resource the Okavango has in abundance.
Lower running costs mean the community is far more likely to be able to keep the pond working long after the initial project ends.
Solar-poweredEvery element in the proposed budget is chosen to make the pond safe, reliable, and monitorable.
