Achamnaidu Kandriga Village, Tamil Nadu, India

“I am Yashwini of Achamnaidu Kandriga SC Village privileged to thank and greet DROP4DROP, U.K. and PEPPERMINT for a deep Borewell fitted with an Electrical Motor and a 2000 Liters Overhead Tank to our Achamnaidu Kandriga SC Village. We normally do not get the required water in our village and we used to go to the nearby horticulture farms and request the farm owners to permit to pull out water from their open wells. It was a great struggle to pull out the water and our children along with us used to suffer physical hardships and we used to curse gods and goddess for placing us in such a poor condition. We had no other way. Now after they’ve installed new water project through kindly donated by PEPPERMINT, Through Purchases of Life Water and DROP4DROP, U.K. it has become a great support to all the members of the village. We are able to bring water very easily to our home. Our time is saved and our children are able to attend to their homework and also studies in a better manner. THANK YOU. DRINK WELL BE WELL.”

his project was undertaken as part of our campaign of projects that actively reduce carbon emissions. This project helped the community save their much needed wood which was previously being burnt daily to boil water. This project has also eliminated the many thousands of hours previously spent on walking to collect water.
