Medhanit Y., 31 years old, is a single mother with one son. She has no land or livestock, but has been able to have a share of the project's benefits by harvesting grasses from the communal restoration sites. "I am happy - I am earning money!" she says. "In August I harvested 20 sacks of grass, each weighing about 40kg, and sold them to my neighbours, earning 3000 Etb (US$65). In this month's harvest (October), I expect to harvest up to 50 sacks (US$163). Thanks, THP and WeForest!"
