These modular, low-cost tanks will be used to support rice farming not only in Uganda but eventually across other parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
By combining sustainable building materials, affordable water storage technology, and modular design, we aim to expand rice production and improve nutrition and food security for thousands of people in vulnerable regions.
