The Millennium Villages Project covers 14 groups of villages in 10 African countries. The aim is to demonstrate how to meet the Millennium Development Goals of the United Nations. For five years the villages receive substantial development aid in the areas of nutrition, farming, education, health and infrastructure, totaling $110 per head. Local farmers are given extra training to learn how to irrigate their fields more effectively and secure the harvest.
