Give where it matters this holiday season…
…straight to local, practical solutions. Since we started Rainmaker in 2017, the sands have shifted below our feet - from climate change to a climate crisis that is costing millions their health, livelihoods and homes.
We are a grassroots alliance working directly with the world's hardest hit by climate change and humanitarian crisis. Support Thiet, South Sudan, where we are combining the power of clean technology and local knowledge - installing a solar-powered water pump to enable thousands to access clean water and grow nutritious food all year round.
Join us in removing barriers this holiday season
South Sudan has been among the hardest hit countries by climate change. Extreme drought, water scarcity and flooding are crippling food production and causing forced migration.
This holiday season, we are raising funds to complete the solar-powered water infrastructure that will enable our partner community in South Sudan, where we drilled a well earlier this year, to start regenerative farming this dry season. Let’s remove barriers and make migration a choice and not a last resort.
Meet Akor, our champion of change
This year, our team met with Akor, one of the community members in Tonj who is dealing with these immense challenges. Akor is a farmer, a mother, and a respected woman in her community. With drought causing her farm to fail last year, Akor is struggling to provide for her family everyday. As a mother, Akor is responsible for her family’s well being. When hunger hits, Akor eats least and last. She is among hundreds whose dignity has been reduced to waiting for relief aid.
Akor seeks to use her own hands to build lasting solutions for her family. “Farming is what we’re born with, our food and livelihoods depend on it. If I had my choice, I would rather be farming.”
Akor is the hardest hit and least responsible for climate change. But as a farmer, land and water steward, she is also the first to act - with the right tools in her hands.
This holiday season, we are working hand in hand with Akor and hundreds of other women, youth and families in Tonj, South Sudan, to remove the barriers to delivering lasting health, peace and prosperity.
We know Akor and the community holds the wisdom of generations of farming practices in their hands and hearts. She has the courage. She needs the tools.
How we are investing in Akor’s community
We have already drilled a well that is now supplying 3,000 people with clean water in Tonj. With this foundation, we will implement the community’s first solar-powered water pump and irrigation system that will enable the community to begin growing nutritious food locally this coming dry season.
Join the global alliance standing with the people hardest hit by climate change. Your donation will go a long way towards removing barriers for Akor and hundreds of others! The future is in her hands!
