Six focus areas, all rooted in the same villages
None of this started as a plan drawn up in an office — each programme grew out of a need we saw first-hand in Shiroli and the villages around it.
Water Conservation
Check dams, farm ponds and rainwater harvesting structures that hold the monsoon back for the dry months, plus water-literacy work with the villages who depend on them.
- Check dams & farm ponds
- Rainwater harvesting
- Rivulet rejuvenation

Bird Conserve
Every summer, as village ponds dry and temperatures climb past 44°C, our volunteers hang clay paanpoi — water bowls — on trees along three routes and refill them by hand.
