Environmental conservation builds families, India

Hiri Bai

Hiri Bai joined a self-help group organized by Sahyog in 2003. She was able to take a microloan from the group to buy a buffalo. The buffalo yielded 25 pints of milk per day. Hiri Bai would keep 4 pints for her family and sell the rest at market.

Regenerated Land

With appropriate conservation techniques farmers are able to grow crops in the desert.

Kundai Weather Center

Since climate change has begun to take effect, rain has become more irregular. Farmers used to rely on local weather patterns to know when to plant their crops. But climate change renders this knowledge useless. At Kundai they have learned simple, yet effective meteorological practices. They monitor and collect data on rainfall, temperatures and wind and share this with both their local community and the Indian government.
