How the UN is Holding Back the Sahara Desert

Not only is it saving degraded land, feeding people, and recharging the water tables, it’s keeping young folks in rural areas and building communities. Fabulous work all around. If more governments can start projects like this it could make a huge impact worldwide.

Thank you so much, Andrew, for joining our team in Senegal and highlighting WFP's crucial work that is supporting Sahel communities to restore the landscapes that sustain them, reduce humanitarian needs, create jobs, and make the desert green again. 💚 We look forward to hosting you again soon!

Bringing back life to the land is remarkable, but bringing back hope to the people is indescribable. Absolutely outstanding, thanks for sharing this.

Imagine the progress we could make as a civilization without war

Honestly, this looks like one of the few projects that have clearly defined goals and processes for how to get there while remaining sustainable for local people to continue without heavy outside funding. To all working on this, great job!

Incredible video, series, channel and dude. This deserves fifty million views.

This is one of the only encouraging things I ever see. Thank you Africa for this bright spot.

It's like watching documentaries like back in the day, i really love watching these types of videos before work. It wakes me up alongside with my morning coffee. Wish them the best.

Imagine if our governments instead of investing in wars, invested in these humanitarian/ecological projects! The world would be a better place.

Outstanding! Permaculture heals the land and our hearts.

This is a WONDERFUL PROJECT!!!!! This program saves the soul of a people as well as the land!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!

Wow. Like that. You can even see the pride of the people for what they archieved. You took dead, barren land and turn it into a green Oasis with your own work. Thats a very positive source of self esteem.

This should be on the major news channels to show that despite all the destruction in the world, there is a lot of positive stuff happening. Thank you to everybody working in these projects!

The UN should restrict itself for these projects, instead of getting involved with wars. That's not for them anymore

This is truly amazing. Not only are you saving these lands, but also providing jobs, and stopping migration.

Wow! It's making Africa great again like in olden times! Congrats Africa wishing all the best to the people involved inthis commitment as well as the people who volunteered.May all.your dreams come true.This is a good news that brings prosperity and happiness to everyone.😅😊❤🎉.no more hunger and thirst!Thanks to the sponsors who committed themselves,thier time and efforts.God Bless

Some countries think that the more tall buildings means success but here you are the real thing bringing land to life all the best.

I absolutely love that this project solves a problem for a people, but still puts the solution into the hands of the population that needs the help. This is creating a livelihood and agency for those individuals that need it most. The biggest problem with many non-profit organizations (NPOs) is that they come in a just hand out resources. Handing out resources is absolutely fine in an emergency, but it is not sustainable. Handing a long-term solution in the DIRECT hands of those affected is a way to build back stability and autonomy for a people. This project even goes a step forward and helps humanity as a whole from an environmental standpoint. Bravo!

I'm from Asia, Pakistan. I'm very proud of you guys. You guys are working wonders for humanity. I am very grateful

Wow!! This is something that lifted me up...I was going into the darkness day by day by knowing the cruelty, foolishness and harsh reality of humans worldwide...Thank God good people are still alive on this planet...this encouraged me to do something actively for nature...Salute to these people
