Many fields in Tajikistan have been neglected for generations because it seemed that they were not fertile. But now, thanks to help from the Tajikistani Government and the World Bank, projects are underway to provide these lands with irrigation techniques which will then make the land arable. Part of the problem is that so many children help their parents in the fields and are therefore unable to attend school. Hopefully, with these new water techniques, children can go to school as their help on the fields will no longer be crucial to the family’s survival.
