Why Clean Water ?
Because as you read this sentence 163 million Indians fight for access to clean drinking water near them- the highest number in any country across the world.

IMPACT STORIES
My little girl enjoys accompanying me to the well because it takes very little effort for us to collect water. Mariamma continued, “this well became a life-saver for us during the ‘corona’. Elderly people like me remained safe during these fearful times as we did not have to go to distant places to collect water. Social distancing would not have been possible if we had to wait in long queues in front of the Panchayat tap. My community did not struggle for water even once during the lockdown, as the well is near our homes.”
