Chirogwe community benefits from solar-powered irrigation scheme

A rural community in Chivi has received a new solar-powered water source that will help farmers grow crops all year round. The Chirogwe area struggled with water shortages that made farming difficult during dry seasons. Local lawmaker Xavier Maoneke helped bring the project to the village as part of government efforts to improve rural areas. The new borehole will provide clean water for drinking and farming activities.

Villagers expressed excitement about the development since their previous gardens often failed during summer months. Women and young people can pursue farming projects throughout the year with reliable water access. Livestock will also benefit from the steady water supply which should boost animal productivity. Community members praised President Mnangagwa for supporting rural development programs.

Maoneke encouraged residents to make full use of government development initiatives being introduced across the country. He stressed that the solar borehole creates opportunities for sustainable crop production that could generate income and improve living standards. The lawmaker also provided fencing materials and farming supplies to support the irrigation scheme and nearby projects.

Additional support reached vulnerable community members through food packages and blankets for elderly residents and disadvantaged groups. The Tende area also received agricultural assistance as part of the broader rural empowerment campaign. Local officials emphasized the importance of taking advantage of these development opportunities to transform lives and strengthen food security across the region.
