The Problem We're Solving

Dhakne Village, a thriving tribal community of 2000 residents and 1000 cattle, faces interconnected challenges that hinder its progress. The core issues include:

- Chronic Water Scarcity: Inadequate water for drinking, sanitation, and agriculture, affecting both human and cattle populations.

- Healthcare & Educational Deficits: Limited access to quality medical services and educational infrastructure.

- Agricultural Stagnation: Outdated farming practices and lack of water leading to low crop yields and food insecurity.

- Limited Livelihood Opportunities: A lack of skills and resources beyond subsistence farming, leading to economic instability.

These multi-dimensional problems create a cycle of poverty, preventing the community from achieving its full potential.

Our Solution

Our solution is a holistic village development model that breaks the cycle of poverty by tackling all core issues simultaneously. We create a virtuous cycle where:

- Water Security enables better Agriculture.

- Agricultural Surplus improves Health & Nutrition.

- A healthier, educated community can engage in diversified Livelihoods.

- This integrated approach ensures long-term sustainable development and community ownership.
