Mary Akutu, Sweet Potatoes: A Woman’s Crop For Vihiga County, Vihiga County, Kenya

by | Nov 7, 2017 | What Does $1000 Do?

The TPP seed grant made a big difference. We were able to train 100 women smoothly and effectively and buy the needed material for the trainings. Before this grant, women in these communities were not able to produce enough food for their families due to lack of planting materials and skills in agribusiness management.

Most of them earned less than a dollar a day and only ate one meal a day. The grant enabled us to better serve this community by providing them with certified planting materials and helping them acquire the skills needed to change their lives positively.

Lakshman Molleti’s work seems simple enough at first glance: he gives away earth-friendly water bowls throughout India to ensure that the millions of stray dogs, cows, monkeys, birds, and other animals have access to clean water. 

"It Began with a Water Bowl," is the movie adaptation of the book "The Journey of Bunty and Chinku,", written by Lakshman.
This story is meticulously crafted with the primary goal of inspiring, motivating, and instilling a sense of responsibility across all age groups towards community building, particularly in the often neglected realms of animal welfare and the environment.

The Pollination Project partnered with Lakshman since the very beginning of Lakshman’s project Animals Water Bowl Project Trust. 

To date, Lakshman Molleti:

🐶 distributed 5500+ water bowls
🐶 organized 120 educational events
🐶 educated 35,000 people on animal welfare both in person and online
🐶 impacted 15000+ animals /day.
