“Water 4 mercy's collaboration with cultivaid enabled the training of over 12,500 farmers and 450 students in sustainable agricultural practices, utilizing israeli technology and expertise. This initiative promoted year-round cultivation of nutritious crops, improved food security, and supported local economies. The harvested crops contributed to better community health and restored dignity as villagers achieved greater self-sufficiency. The organization also advanced education and capacity building through its school of agriculture, established with don bosco technical institute in dodoma, tanzania and in embu, kenya. Water 4 mercy supported agricultural innovation and technology centers (aitec) in dodoma and embu, which provided training in drip irrigation, sustainable farming, and agri-business to local experts, educators, and students. These centers fostered a new generation of agricultural leaders and supported self-sustaining food systems and economic development. In 2024, water 4 mercy launched an "agricultural diplomacy" initiative with agadir university in morocco, facilitating cross-border agricultural exchanges and educational collaboration. This program connected african agricultural students and professionals with israeli and moroccan innovators, promoting regional cooperation in food security and sustainable agricultural practices. To further expand its impact, water 4 mercy worked with quarero, a swiss-based marketing accelerator, to enhance its media presence and outreach through creative, data-driven strategies.
