Sahyog recently carried out an evaluation site visit to families who had received horticulture units in the past two years. During this period, Sahyog has supported 106 families by providing training on planting fruit saplings such as gooseberry, lemon and mangos. Since the past two years has received a good amount of monsoon rain, most of the saplings have survived and are growing. The following results came about:
1) Gooseberry and Lemon: about 68% of what was planted in the past two years has survived 2) Mangos: 83% of mangos planted in the past two years has survived 3) Last year, Sahyog planted 15 saplings to grow coconuts, which have all survived and are currently growing.
