 The International Rainwater Harvesting Alliance are helping communities become more resilient during the Covid-19 pandemic. In Kathmandu, Nepal, communities have been harvesting rainwater rather than taking water from already stressed watercourses. Crucially, it provides more secure water access for communities displaced by the 2015 earthquake. Communities are also supported in their pursuit of income generation activities. In the Kaski district, in Nepal's Midhills region, communities have been installing rain tanks to supply toilets, taps, sinks and newly planted trees with water in local schools. These systems foster communities' resilience to droughts. They have also ensured local communities and those returning to rural areas from cities during the quarantine can care for Covid-positive individuals at the Biswa Shanti Blue School. In the Sinai Saloon region of Senegal, farmers use locally sourced materials to build rain tanks and implement agroforestry farming techniques. The rain tanks ensure farmers have drinking water. The agroforestry farming techniques improve the nutrient content of soils and will provide farmers with fodder for animals, firewood, vegetables and cereals. Some of these products can be sold to provide an income. These activities helped communities to have better access to water and maintain hygiene during the Covid-19 pandemic. The local NGO Apav Senegal, involved in these ecosystem-based activities, commissioned 750 masks from our local tailor for the use of project participants during the pandemic. These activities are supported by us as part of our EBA Agroforestry Project.
