Location: 

Moti Morsal village in Gujarat's Sundernagar District is green and fertile today due to the relentless efforts of its women. There was a time when extremely hot summers and scanty rainfall would force the villagers of nearly 160 houses to leave the area in search of food and water. However, under the aegis of the Aga Khan Rural Support Program, the village women who once used to walk miles for drinking water, have started schemes like roof water harvesting in tanks with storage capacities of around 10,000 liters to meet drinking water requirements up to six months.
