This initiative restores unused land, supports income generation for a community with limited livelihood options, and enhances local greenery.

The program is being implemented on the ground by The Partners Nepal’s partner, the Chamlang Society Youth Group.
With funding from The Partners Nepal and implementation by the Chamlang Society Youth Group, barren land in Desenam Sambhu, Chheskam has been converted into productive orchards with 1,160 orange and lemon trees. This initiative restores degraded land, enhances greenery, and improves resilience against oil erosion and climate impacts. It also creates future income opportunities for local families, supports better nutrition, and enables market access through the new road link. By empowering youth and farmers, the project transforms unused land into a sustainable source of livelihoods and community pride for Chheskam.
