Improving drought stricken area 

I am a native of a drought stricken area.My area had been dry for sometime making it hard for plants and crops to grow.Many had been suffering due to frequent cases of food shortages.However,come now the story is differented.Red Cross society did improve our area.Firstly,they encouraged each resident to plant drought resistant crops of which they supplied free seeds.Many people did this and the results were amazing as some food was available.Secondly,the area was irrigated by frequent supply of water from the main piping country system.Different crops started being planted both drought resistant and non-drought resistant.Food for now is available and even surplus is obtained which is sold to other areas.
