LET IT GROW

Solar irrigation &
environmental education

Helping people grow food all year round


While we often create outlandish and extravagant events we also spare some time and resources to help create a better future for people who didn't have such a fortunate start to life as all of us. The Great Event Company is a key sponsor and participant of the Ulimi Irrigation project in Malawi.

Every party or wedding that we create helps contribute to the expansion of irrigation systems which gives more and more farmers the ability to feed themselves and their families all year round.

THE AIM

To put an end to malnutrition in Malawi by promoting sustainable agriculture and environmental education. We install solar powered irrigation networks so that local farmers can grow vegetables all year round, not just in the unreliable rainy season.

By using the natural abundance of nearby freshwater, building the right infrastructure and implementing forward thinking education strategies we hope to improve the situation, little by little.

BACKGROUND

Ed set up Ulimi Irrigation while living in Malawi during a particularly bad food shortage after a poor rainy season.

Traditionally farmers rely on 3 months of rain to grow all their food for the year, more often than not this does not see their families through the whole year.

The obvious solution was to create irrigation systems to give farmers access to water throughout the year.
