Marquirivi, Bolivia, - Irrigation

Situated high in the Bolivian Andes, the approximately 650-person community of Marquirivi relies almost exclusively on agriculture for subsistence and export. Residents grow potatoes, haba beans, and other crops for their own consumption, as well as a fruit called tuna raised primarily to trade for cash income. The existing irrigation infrastructure cannot effectively sustain the growing community’s need for food. EWB-UA’s assistance is required to redistribute other nearby water sources and improve the crop yield and livelihood of Marquirivi.
