RIPPLE EFFECT IMAGES
A decade ago, the village of Piplantri, India, was barren, denuded by open-pit mines.

In return for the trees planted, each girl is promised education and security in a region where historical prejudice against infant girls too often led to infanticide.
The film was shown around the world at festivals like The NGO IFF, Suncine Environmental Film Festival, and India Shorts Film Festival. It was also screened at the WHO festival and won a Special Prize in Health Innovation with recognition by WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
