A sure sign of its impact and promise for smallholder farmers impacted by climate change, the Rainmaker Enterprise<\/a><\/strong> is now receiving funding and technical assistance from the World Food Programme (WFP) to help build lasting solutions for local communities in South Soudan. Global health intern James Madhier<\/a><\/strong> developed Rainmaker at the Dahdaleh Institute with support and guidance from director James Orbinski<\/strong> and Institute fellows. Locally led, Rainmaker develops solar-powered water pumps and tractor-for-hire services for farmers in South Sudan to boost local food production, address hunger, and ensure community resilience toward climate change effects like floods and droughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best indicators of success is when a humanitarian agency takes up an innovation, and WFP has done just that<\/a>\u2014helping Rainmaker help communities to meet their food and water needs, \u201cbuilding dignity, drop by drop.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
