‘Sir, before the installation of this bore-well, I used to have to endure an 3km walk from the nearest water supply to fetch a single pot of drinking water for my family, thus per day I used to walk 12km to get water for my family need. Now after installation of this well, only needs to travel short distance for clean drinking water for my entire family needs, saving a tremendous amount of time each day. Now I am able to start a vegetables selling business in my house, making use of my spare time not spent walking to get water. With the hygiene education taught by health worker we are now able to do regular soap hand washing & keeping personal hygiene which provides us good health. Our sincere thanks to the donor of this bore-well’.

This 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.
