The Wandering Farmer Coop network, also known as Waali Wireless, is a 28-year project with a total budget of $2,000,000. The goal of the project is to make sustainable farming and engineering a mainstay for all levels of society by providing a platform for end users (farmers and their villages) to access engineering solutions and connect with technologists. This will be done through the use of vertical farms, renewable energy, and open source ecological solutions in West, East, and Southern Africa. The project aims to improve food security in the regions and uplift local communities that have been impacted by the brain drain of urban life in rural areas. The platform will allow the community to view and explore technology options and invest in solutions that they can test in their own community. Local traditions and knowledge about climate and growing styles will be taken into account in the development of salable solutions, with 18% of the increased yield and products going back into the community to sustain future planting seasons. The project intersects with technology innovation, utility, and advocacy, as well as digital rights, by providing access to technology and resources and involving the community in the development process. The organization’s operating budget for the current fiscal year is $9,000 to help raise awareness and secure partnership[s beyond the existing farmers already interested.
Our project aims to address the issue of world hunger by providing small-scale farmers in West, East, and Southern Africa with the resources they need to increase crop yields and improve food security. We will do this by implementing solar energy and open source solutions, such as vertical farms, renewable energy, and Open Source Ecological technologies. These solutions are affordable and sustainable, making them ideal for small-scale farmers in these regions.
Our specific goals and objectives include:
Providing solar-powered irrigation systems to small-scale farmers in the target region
Increasing crop yields for participating farmers
Improving food security for participating farmers
To achieve these goals, we will take the following approach:
Identify suitable locations for the implementation of solar energy and open source technologies
Work with local communities to determine their specific needs and preferences
Train local farmers in the use and maintenance of these technologies
Monitor the progress and impact of the project through metrics such as the number of small-scale farmers reached, the increase in crop yields, and the overall improvement in food security.
To evaluate the success of our project, we will track the following metrics:
The number of small-scale farmers reached by the project
The increase in crop yields for participating farmers
The overall improvement in food security for participating farmers
Our budget for this project is $2,000,000, which will cover the costs of purchasing and installing the solar energy and open source technologies, as well as any ongoing maintenance costs.
In conclusion, our project has the potential to make a significant impact on addressing world hunger by empowering small-scale farmers in West, East, and Southern Africa to become more self-sufficient and increase their crop yields. By providing them with access to affordable and sustainable technologies, we hope to contribute to a long-term reduction in hunger and malnutrition in the target region.

“One of the key ways we will measure the success of our project is through the strong relationships we build with local farmers and the impact on the youth in the community. By providing education and employment opportunities, we hope to encourage young people to return to their villages and become actively involved in the farming industry. The resulting settlement and participation in the community will be a strong indicator of the project’s impact.” – Charles Anaman
