In 2023, FWWF worked with Children of the Wilderness in Mokgacha and Eretsha to assist with subsistence farming for these villages. Previously, villagers (including women and children) tended to the fields and had to walk 10km to get fresh water each day. Even worse, villagers collecting water were at risk from local wildlife including elephant attacks.
FWWF worked with local experts to drill boreholes, install solar equipment, test water, and ensure that villagers were trained to maintain their new sources of water. Today, roughly 2,500 villagers enjoy access to clean drinking water.
