Africa Windmill project Malawi Panemone Windmill

The Project is to teach African farmers how to build and maintain wind-powered water pumps for irrigating farmlands. Remote farming villages have hand-dug wells, but no knowledge of how to 'pump' water from the shallow wells to their crops. Modern irrigation equipment is too expensive for villagers and impossible for them to maintain, since they do not have tools or training. The projects main focus is sustainable irrigation technology based upon the panemone windmill (500AD Persia

) connected to a handmade rope and washer pump to irrigate the crops. During a drought Malawi does not produce enough food to support its population; 94% of farms rely on the natural three-month rainy season, which only allows one growing season per year. Farmers, with Malawi’s temperate climate and the means to ‘pump’ water for crop irrigation, would have the opportunity to produce crops year round regardless of rainfall. Irrigation would stabilize the region of Southern Africa's food supply ending hunger which is matter of Life and Death.
