So take a minute to look at their impact reports and then we can discuss the evidence.

Sorry I shared the main link— they are an NGO that raises money, that’s how it works.

I just find it hard to understand that if you really found out digging holes has this much impact, and you truly care, that you wouldn't share schematics and detailed guides on how to do it in your own land, does that make sense? They would of course still try to do larger projects, but it just feels strange enough to cause doubt for me. Sorry if it's a misjudgement.

Water bunds, and other approaches to re-greening are part of a United Nations-funded project. You can see other examples (including instructions) at these sites:

Thanks for sharing, maybe I'm demanding things they aren't set out to do and being too cynical.

Yes, that's my take of your position.

There is plenty of literature about the effectiveness of swales and bunds. Justdiggit didn't invent them. Their expertise is in mobilising communities to actually implement them, and raising funds to support them.

Agreed. It's the corporate equivalent of sinning left and right 6 days a week, then going into the confession booth on Sunday and getting asked to recite a couple of Hail Mary's.
I didn't spend too long on the website but this page https://justdiggit.org/dig-in/farmer/start-regreening/ seems to be the closest to that, yet it's still no instructions and just marketing. I don't want to sound too negative or make a judgment call with too little information but wanted to share my worries as it has become all too common for grifters to take advantage of the situation in a sort of partnership with huge corporation leadership teams. They get free money and the leadership team gets to greenwash whatever they do in their core business.
I never researched this specific one in detail other than a few minutes now, but the company I worked for previously used to do this style of donations and we found a lot of projects like this.
