The village of Piplantri in Rajasthan, India plants 111 trees every time a girl is born. In a region where daughters were once seen as a burden, the birth of a girl now triggers a celebration — the entire community comes together to plant. They also start a savings fund for each girl's education that she collects at 20. Piplantri now has over 350,000 trees. What was once semi-arid land is now a forest. Every tree is named after a girl.
