WOTR is a not-for-profit NGO founded in 1993 operating currently in five 5 Indian states – Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand.
WOTR is recognised widely as a premier institution in the field of participatory watershed development and Climate Change Adaptation. Its unique strength lies in its ‘on-field’ experience and in the systemic approach to the watershed development process, which primarily is participatory in nature.
WOTR’s mandate is to reduce poverty through mobilising the self help capacities of individuals and communities to regenerate the eco-spaces or watersheds they live in, harvest rain water wherever it falls, use it productively, undertake sustainable livelihoods and do whatever else it takes to get them out of poverty.
