Restoring the Tansa Valley Together with Communities
Dear friends,
Imagine a green and fertile valley where, for generations, families have lived off the land they cultivate. A place where trees provide shade, food and a future.
That place exists. It is the Tansa Valley, in India. But today, that balance is in danger. Deforestation is degrading the land, weakening the ecosystem, and jeopardizing the health and livelihoods of thousands of people who depend on it.
And yet, something powerful is also happening. Together with local communities, PRASAD Chikitsa is helping to restore the valley one tree at a time, supporting farming families to regenerate the land and build a sustainable future.
Cultivating Trees, Cultivating the Future
Since 2007, the Orchard program (WADI) has supported farmers in the Tansa Valley by providing them with high-quality fruit trees, native seeds adapted to the region, and training in organic farming to restore soil fertility.
These orchards do more than just produce nutritious fruit for families. They also generate sustainable income, allowing families to live with dignity off their own land.
For a farming family, an orchard means much more than trees, it means fresh food on the table, a livelihood close to home, and a more secure future for their children. Every sapling planted restores the soil and strengthens the bond between people and nature.
Last year’s impact
Thanks to this program, in the last year more than 900 farmers participated in the project, 38,000 fruit trees were distributed, 28,000 forest trees were planted, and 10,000 mogra (jasmine) plants were incorporated into the crops. Native seeds were distributed to create more resilient harvests.
Each one of these trees represents an opportunity for both the families and the planet.
Your support makes this change possible
In these times of economic uncertainty and environmental challenges, your support is more important than ever. Every contribution helps to regenerate ecosystems, strengthen rural communities, create sustainable livelihoods, and improve the health and nutrition of families.
When you support PRASAD’s mission, your impact goes far beyond a single person.
Knowledge, resources, and opportunities are shared within families and communities, multiplying the change.
Planting hope
Since 2007, this program has planted much more than trees. It has planted hope, self-reliance, and sustainability.
With your help, we can continue sowing life in the Tansa Valley.
Thank you for walking with us and for making this afforestation and organic farming program in the Tansa Valley possible, benefiting families and communities alike.
Because when farmers reclaim their land, they also reclaim their future.
With gratitude,
The PRASAD Europe team
