The OpenAg Foundation Launches Raising $1.3 Million USD for Water Security Project to Help One Million in Southern Africa

An event in Cannes has marked the launch of The OpenAg Foundation, a non-profit foundation on a mission to deliver food security, develop farmer resilience, and support smallholder farmers facing the effects of climate change.

Its inaugural initiative, Water for Harmony, aims to drill 1,000 boreholes in Southern Africa, bringing clean drinking water to an estimated one million people. The campaign successfully raised $1.3million USD towards the programme during the event.
