Budget
$13,000
Geographic Scope

Beneficiaries
Direct beneficiaries are 30 farmers; indirect beneficiaries are up to 100 workers and farmers in the wider area. Increase in arable lands of 300,000m2.
This project
aims to unlock economic opportunities while developing the local agricultural
sector and increasing agricultural lands. SEAL will equip an existing water
well of 250 meters depth with the capacity to pump water to irrigate around
300,000m2 of agricultural lands – an enormous area of land to be
potentially brought into agricultural use. The requested equipment is an
electric generator with 80 KVA power.
This project is a part of SEAL’s IRRIGATION NETWORK program, which digs wells and installs irrigation systems throughout Lebanon.
