Our projects intentionally use very low-cost technologies that can be maintained by initial participants and easily replicated by their neighbors with little or no financial input. Our program enjoys enthusiastic support throughout the communities where we are working, and an ever growing number of new communities is asking to become involved. Each project is based on each community s needs, as well as our global environmental goals. By focusing on the restoration of degraded lands, SHI projects dramatically improve the ecological integrity of that land and take pressure off nearby forests.
