Water and household food production

Abstract

The headline read “worst drought in 100 years”, but the Strydkraal women said “we have buried the hunger”. Just before Christmas, Eva Masha, Emily Masha and Lucy Masha completed their water harvesting tanks in their residential stands in Strydkraal community, Sekhukhune District, Limpopo Province. They are now literally” reaping” the rewards! Apart from the food they harvested they were finalists in the Women in Water 2004 award made by the Minister for Water Affairs and Forestry for their pioneering example.
