More than 3.5 million people die each year from water-related disease. The water and sanitation crisis claims more lives through disease than any war claims through guns.
Mewat is a historical region in northwestern India, that has its origin in the folklore of the Mahabharata. Somehow the economic progress in India has forgotten Mewat in the folds of history. It lies in a semi-arid region and one of the biggest challenges is getting access to clean drinking water.
One Earth Environment Foundation is undertaking a unique campaign to raise funds for providing clean water for a few villages in Mewat. By raising 4000 US$ we shall help Mehmood Khan build a team of ‘water entrepreneurs’. These water entrepreneurs shall be able to provide clean water at an affordable price to a large number of villagers in Mewat.
If you’d like to pitch in, please contribute through any of the following options. No amount is small.
Donate online through your credit /debit card/ paypal or
Send an on-line trasfer / post a cheque. On receiving the funds we shall send you a signed receipt.
