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.

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.
