Watershed Organisation Trust

"WOTR believes that land degradation and water scarcity are the most intense and commonly felt needs of a village community that can bring different groups of people together to begin their development process. Community restoration of the natural environment makes sustainability happen. Such community-led efforts help combat and adapt to climate change and mitigate the impacts."
