Establishing a solar-powered mobile irrigation system for olive farmers in North-West Syria

The project has successfully established a mobile solar-powered irrigation unit. On a monthly basis, 15 olive growers are granted access to this cutting-edge equipment, allowing them to practice sustainable and eco-friendly field irrigation.

Each beneficiary receives training and guidance on its operation. The system is easily transportable, requiring only a pump and a vehicle for relocation from one field to another.
