Why us?

It is our belief that if we can educate our community about organic, sustainable and diversified farming practices, our village will not only to survive but to thrive in the future.
These practices will be easily shared with other communities across Nepal.
If we don’t do this, the communities will end up dispersed across the country earning money to buy pesticide-based food and creating many illnesses including depression as families are split for economic-based reasons.
