In the second edition of the Wise Wall Project, Project FUEL collaborated with the Hans Foundation to collect and paint the life lessons of the villagers of Khati.
The Hans Foundation is actively working on an integrated village development program in the region. This art project was in partnership to support the same spirit. The impactful tool of art enhanced the social health, visibility and participation of the village.
The project aimed at increasing the visibility of the village by transforming it into an art gallery on the foothills of a glacier, for travelers and the world to enthrall themselves with the folklores of the region. As well as to raise awareness against the various community issues/stigmas surrounding the rural life and seek solutions for the same. Seen in this picture is a village woman in Khati, returning to her home from her farm.

- Project: The Wise Wall Project is an initiative by Project FUEL and FUEL Foundation to document the rural wisdom of our villages and celebrate it through art murals. The initiative transforms villages into living classrooms, turning the walls of the same onto blackboards and canvases that uncover striking yet simple life learnings. The project aims to ignite a movement of transforming the long forgotten villages into open-air galleries, exhibiting human wisdom for anyone and everyone in the world to see and benefit from. Khati has now become the second village after Saur, in the recent history to have a documented database of life lessons from an entire community. And as wishful as it gets, the village has now been transformed into a living storybook that tells the tales of Khati, like never before.
