Today in India, 260 million smallholder farmers live on less than one dollar a day, representing more than 20% of the world's 1.2 billion extreme poor. These farmers rely on agriculture for subsistence and income, making water scarcity a critical issue. Acumen Fund's investment in GEWP is helping small farmers implement inexpensive watering systems.
