NO CASH CO-FINANCING IN THIS PROJECT
There are a total of 60 households in Pakhagaon and Kothi situated in the slopes of a narrow valley besides the rives and experiences heavy rainfall each summer, causing continuous soil erosion along the slopes and because of the progressive increase in population, regression of forest and bushes and heavy rainfall most of the lands have become degraded significantly. Simultaneously, following the diminished water holding capacity of the soil, flash floods have become a common feature washing away and silting large parts of cultivable land.
Hence, farmers having heard of the success stories of Salamjee and Geleychu Sustainable Land Management has formed a Association and would like to replicate similar activities in Kothigaon and Pakhagaon to improve soil fertility and bring about positive changes in the living status of the poor farmers who are dependent on agriculture.
