More than 1.8 billion people on Earth get their drinking water from contaminated sources, exposing them to cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio. Worldwide, a staggering 60% of childhood diseases are attributed to unsafe water.
For Karuna-Shechen, clean water is a top concern. The communities we serve are located in drought-prone and under-served areas, where sources of safe water are limited.
Supported by your donations, we are tackling the issue and establishing solutions for people in need!
In Nepal, we are installing rainwater harvesting tanks and water supply systems in schools.
In India, we are helping farmers and supporting local agriculture during the dry season by building ponds and irrigation canals.
We also bring clean water to villages by installing rainwater collection tanks in homes and schools. Added bonus: the tanks provide access to safe drinking water while also allowing villagers to grow vegetable gardens that nourish entire families.
