Can you help Mulberry Community Gardens for Silk on the Generosity Network? Every little bit helps!
Creating income from silk cocoon production for disadvantaged communities while fighting desertification in the Jizzak region of Uzbekistan by planting mulberry gardens and food forests. Communities will be trained in tree propagation from seeds & tree cuttings and in silk cocoon production skills using mulberry leaves as forage. The project will grow at least 100,000 trees and help at least 1,000 families, especially women of various age groups. They will have additional seasonal income and start home-based entrepreneurship, connecting in a network of producers, setting up community-based cooperatives. Mulberry trees, elms, halaxylon, camel thorns, tamarisk are all endemic plant species that can grow in the dry and sharply continental climate of the Jizzak province of Uzbekistan. These species are also bee friendly and will help to restore the biodiversity and improve the micro climate for communities.
