2026 Collab World Day of Desertification Dabane

Together Against Drought: How Dabane secures livelihoods in Zimbabwe On World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, we spotlight communities in rural Zimbabwe, where full force of climate change is a daily reality. Prolonged droughts and degraded soils threaten water access, food security, and livelihoods. When water is missing, agriculture, food security, and health come under pressure. But desertification is not merely a local crisis—it is a global wake-up call for all of us! With support from ASW, Dabane Trust is helping communities build resilience through practical, locally driven solutions: Sand dams capture and store water for the dry season Rowa hand pumps and boreholes provide reliable access to safe drinking water Solar-powered irrigation turns dry land into productive gardens Climate-smart agriculture and environmental protection restore soils and strengthen resilience These initiatives improve health, food security, and economic opportunities—while helping communities adapt to a changing climate with dignity and hope. 👉 Learn more and support our work: https://www.aswnet.de/projekt/dabane and https://www.dabane.org)
