Sorry I shared the main link— they are an NGO that raises money, that’s how it works.
- vasco 2y agoI just find it hard to understand that if you really found out digging holes has this much impact, and you truly care, that you wouldn't share schematics and detailed guides on how to do it in your own land, does that make sense? They would of course still try to do larger projects, but it just feels strange enough to cause doubt for me. Sorry if it's a misjudgement.
- pcrh 2y agoWater bunds, and other approaches to re-greening are part of a United Nations-funded project.

- vasco 2y agoThanks for sharing, maybe I'm demanding things they aren't set out to do and being too cynical.
- arbitrary_name 2y agoYes, that's my take of your position.
- stevage 2y agoThere is plenty of literature about the effectiveness of swales and bunds. Justdiggit didn't invent them. Their expertise is in mobilising communities to actually implement them, and raising funds to support them.
