Malawi’s Lower Shire Valley is changing. Over 14 years, the Shire Valley Transformation Program will turn 42,500 hectares -- more than 105,000 acres -- into irrigated farmland, giving nearly 50,000 smallholder farmers a real chance at building prosperity and generational wealth. Irrigation infrastructure, along with favorable climatic conditions, will allow farmers to grow two to three crops each year, doubling or tripling their profit potential.
