Behind every number is a life changed. Meet the children, women,
farmers and youth whose lives have been transformed through
education, skills, empowerment and sustainable agriculture.
A widow with two children, Parvati depended entirely on
3 acres of rain-fed land. Through the ESP Project, she
received an irrigation well and a 5 HP solar pump —
transforming her farm completely.
For years, her farm produced very little and left
the family struggling to meet basic needs. Today,
with regular irrigation, she grows multiple crops,
meets her children's needs with dignity, and has
become an example for other women in her village.
