One of the project’s aims is to increase families’ incomes through irrigation-based vegetable production. 58-year-old Bitew A., a father of seven children, was struggling for many years to make his 0.375 hectares of land productive.

These photos were taken in the project's Chifarit restoration site, which is located in Kuni kebele.

In 2023 the project - with the critical support and manpower of the communities -restored nearly 600 ha of the Gewocha Forest in 15 sites, and 30 ha of degraded communal lands in 4 sites.
