Help Indian Children Get Clean Drinking Water

With no latrines, open defecation is routinely practiced. Cholera & dysentery are common during seasonal periods ActivitiesThe project includes construction of hand pumps, drainage facilities, school sanitary complex, household latrines, and demonstration of rainwater harvesting structure.
