"Fishing and livestock are not enough any more to sustain adequate incomei in Kazakhdarya-village. I established a carpenter’s workshop as an alternative income generation activity. The project (UNDP-GEF «Achieving ecosystem stability on degraded land in Karakalpakstan and Kyzylkum desert») helped me with equipment. I taught my skills to my sons. My shop is supplying the community with double window frames, doors and other wooden products. That is providing extra revenue to my family."
