Project Mousmi - Community welfare and livelihoods

Project Mousmi was an extensive three-year project addressing the need of 1,600 tribal villagers living in two villages in the Chandaka Forest Area for safe clean water for household use & sanitation to improve health, small-scale cultivation & environmental sustainability. It covered a broad range of activities from rainwater harvesting & containment of water sources, to the provision of household toilets, and a village awareness campaign to develop small-scale water-based cultivation & livelihoods. The project also provides access to clean water to a further 1,500 villagers who live in 3 villages downstream from the water development area.
