The NGO would devise and implement agriculture schemes and programmes for the people of Uganda and Kenya, said Sangha director D Vidya Sagar.

SKG has received 1.30 million pound from Change Limitrf (UK) and $20 million from Green Finance (US) for its activities. IT has so far helped rural women construct 180,000 biogas plants and has provided livelihood to 60,000 families through vermi compost and large-scale organic manure units. It manufactures improved cook stoves.

The Sangha specialises in harvested rain water drinking water schemes, solar power and geysers, municipal solid waste management and carbon emission reduction projects.

Krish Cow Farms & Dairy Products Ltd of Mauritius has approached the Sangha for taking up its projects in Mauritius. The Sangha has agreed to supply technical knowhow for projects in that country, Vidya Sagar said.

Chapin Living Waters helps people in third world countries grow vegetables when there is insufficient rain. Their \"Bucket Kits\",are ideal for poor families in communities where running water and pumps are not available. This simple, inexpensive, gravity fed system will provide enough moisture for a vegetable garden large enough to feed a small family during periods when there is absolutely no rainfall. http://www.chapinlivingwaters.org
