Dear Friend,
In the rural hamlet of Dodavali village, in southern Rajasthan, a neglected water harvesting structure was not functioning, resulting in a water shortage in the area. Seasonal water shortages were affecting agriculture, leaving farmers dependent on unpredictable rainfall and causing difficulties for both crops and livestock.
Thanks to supporters like you, we have repaired the water structure, resulting in an increase in water retention capacity by two months, improving the availability of water for irrigation, drinking and livestock. Wheat yields in the area have increased significantly as a result of improved soil moisture retention, and downstream wells are being recharged, reducing the burden on women who have to walk long distances to collect water for domestic use. This intervention has benefited 65 marginal farmers and their families by improving their wellbeing.
We thank all our donors for contributing to the well-being of people in difficult areas.We are happy to share that we are participating in GlobalGiving's April 2024 Little by Little campaign. During Campaign from 8th to 12th April, all eligible donations up to $50 will be matched at 50%. Therefore, matching donations will make every contribution count even more, helping us to empower more rural villages of southern Rajasthan.
We hope you'll consider extending your generous support once again.
Your Sincerely,
Ronak Shah
Chief Executive
