In this region of India all meals are prepared on wood fire and therefore wood gets a rare good in this area. The deforestation is one of the reasons for the drying out of this region known for its water shortage. We have tried to find alternatives to cooking with wood.
Biological cultivation
Because of the fact that most of the villagers live direct from farming and depend on agriculture, a help in this particular space is very important for "together". The districts of Dhar and Jhabua comprises of hundreds of widely scattered villages where the people live as self-supporting farmers without land.
As mentioned the shortage of water is one of the biggest problems. Therefore first priority was to dig wells. Fortunately, we were supported generously by many donors and therefore we could start to build the first wells in 2004.
