Water Project

In refugee camps located in arid and challenging desert areas of India, access to clean and safe drinking water is a pressing concern. Women and children often face arduous journeys, walking up to 7 kilometers to fetch water from local temples (mandirs) and other water supply points. This daily trek is not only physically demanding but also time-consuming, limiting opportunities for education, livelihood activities, and overall well-being. The lack of reliable water sources exacerbates hygiene challenges and poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable groups.

 

What the Initiative Proposes:

​

The Water Project addresses these critical issues by constructing water pipelines from the water supply to a central water tank located within our refugee camps. This infrastructure improvement initiative aims to provide our refugee families with regular access to clean and safe drinking water directly within their camp sites. The funds raised for this project go towards the supply of construction materials, while the labor is sourced from refugee families who actively participate in building and maintaining the infrastructure. By reducing the distance and effort required to fetch water, the project improves hygiene practices, enhances health outcomes, and promotes the overall well-being of residents in these challenging environments. The Water Project is a vital lifeline for refugee families, ensuring access to a fundamental human right and empowering individuals to lead healthier and more dignified lives.
