Water Related Problems and Reservoir

Some families don't have access to clean water.
They use dirty water for daily life.
It can be easily imagined that this is the cause for water-borne diseases such as diarrhea, cholera etc. Additionally, it causes skin problems as well.



We are making a reservoir which can provide clean water to at least 150 families.

It will be an incentive for some villagers to move into our area.

Lots of villagers built their houses illegally (i.e. not official land-owner). It can happen anytime that they will be evicted from their houses. Furthermore, these people tend to live near the roadside and which creates a number of traffic accidents.

We want those vulnerable villagers to move into our site and have a safe living environment. At the moment, we are yet to accommodate them sustainably. This reservoir construction is just one of the steps.
