        Amidst an Elnino induced drought, Marita, a 59-year-old widow and mother of four, has found renewed hope through a solarized community borehole and garden established with support from the USAID-funded Takunda project. Previously, Marita struggled to feed her family after the loss of her husband in 2003. Now, she cultivates 28 garden beds, selling tomatoes and leafy greens, earning between $12 and $15 weekly.
