The Bank-on-Rain mission is to create grassroots " simple" solutions for collecting rainwater for consumption and agriculture in developing areas of the planet.
We have received many helpful links related to Bank-On-Rain, so it would seem appropriate to create a unique Twine for Bank-On-Rain. We are looking for all the help we can get.
