| "Before Heifer arrived in her village," says Neesha Thneta, "our drinking water came from a pond. There was only one water tap for 150 families. No house had a toilet. People died every year from minor diseases. Now," says Thneta, "because of this project, we have become aware of many things." |

Heifer will work with 8,900 families to improve nutrition and community development. Our goal is to fund $250,000 of this $2.3 million project online. Heifer will work primarily through women’s groups, due to strong traditional discrimination towards women. Project participants will receive training on Heifer cornerstones, group management, animal health and management, vegetable farming, gender equity, values based literacy and other matters of environment, fodder forage, health, and sanitation. Livestock and inputs used are goats, water buffalo, pigs, biogas, improved stoves, and improved toilets
