Cushioning Climate Change with Farm Water Catchments
The ability to build moderate-sized reservoirs at low-cost for irrigation water - that will fill-in for rains missing from traditional growing seasons - can reduce the affects of changes in rain patterns cause by global warming and immediately boost farm production. By using local animal power to construct the reservoirs, international support can pump a dramatic economic stimulus into farm communities while preparing them to weather the greenhouse effects that global industrialization seems to be causing.

Community/Village Information Centres
Village Information Centers: People living in Villages need to be empowered with the information to serve their needs but media has failed since their information is not selling. This project is all about lobbing them to have such Centers for their better future. View
