As winds blow over the salt-covered desert, they spread salt and dust across the region, harming local health and livelihoods. Together with region's communities, OISCA plants deep-rooted desert shrubs which hold loose soil, mitigating toxic storms. Simultaneously, OISCA trains residents to cultivate drought-resistant crops and medicinal herbs, contributing to local economic resilience.","html":"<iframe src='https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/dy\/v2\/oembed\/?format=html&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.globalgiving.org%2Fprojects%2Freduce-storms-improve-income-of-aral-communities%2F' style='width:920px;height:613px;border:0;'><\/iframe>","type":"rich","title":"Mitigate storms,improve incomes in Aral Sea region on GlobalGiving","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/pfil\/78743\/pict_large.jpg","version":"1.0","height":"613"}
