The community of Sonatoni and Ghorjan union of Sirajgoni district  is living on the bank of Jamuna river. The river faces continuous threat of erosion; village and households are at risk of disappearance. Since 2010 the community has been using local knowledge of Bamboo binding with the aim to redirect the water of Jamuna river and hinder the river erosion

The writers wanted to encourage the Afghan community by showing that the development processes they are experiencing are not different to those seen elsewhere, even if the general context is particularly difficult.
