Although India’s economy continues to grow rapidly, millions of people across the country still live in poverty. They live in unhygienic conditions and without access to clean drinking water. They consider clean drinking water as a blessing. The majority live in isolated rural areas and walk for hours every day to collect water for their family. Hours of walking for water keep children out of school and take up time that parents could be using to earn money. Moreover the water often carries diseases that can make them sick. In India women and young girl children are responsible for fetching water from the river or nearby village common well.
When a community gets access to clean water, women and girls get their lives back. They start to improve their homes, and take charge of their own futures.
By the grace of God we could dig numerous bore wells in Orissa, Andhara Pradesh and Telangana for the communities that were struggling to get clean water.
