Women-Led Watershed Management Project Restores Local Ecology and Livelihoods

Ojaswi Nepal successfully concluded the first phase of its “Green Livelihoods” initiative in the Syangja district, where a collective of 75 local women was mobilized to restore a degraded watershed area. The project included planting native trees, constructing check dams, and implementing soil conservation techniques. Beyond ecological restoration, the project has ensured a more reliable water supply for irrigation and reduced the time women spend fetching water, directly impacting their livelihoods and well-being.
