Water and education

Hope For Health Has Been Stripped Away

Indian children with safe water

We turn the tap to fill a glass with safe clean water, but they can’t do that. We dress our children nicely and drive them to school, but these children have no school.

 

It’s a bleak picture in the village where a double tragedy unfolds as water pollution becomes entwined with the absence of education. This is leaving the families trapped in a life without hope. Contaminated water, a source of pain and illness, breaks through their daily lives, robbing them of hope and dreams.

 

But the loss deepens as innocent and eager children are denied the gift of education. Illiteracy binds them to an ongoing cycle of poverty and limited opportunities. They are thirsty for knowledge, but left dry, with no chance to flourish or escape the harsh realities that surround them.

 

The absence of education casts a shadow of despair, dimming their prospects for a brighter future. In this desperate situation, the village withers, stripped of hope and deprived of the means to break free from the chains of ignorance and contaminated waters.

Suresh wrote to us saying how his family were suffering for almost one and half year without safe drinking water in their village. They had a village hand well but the water level had dropped dramatically and the water was dirty and polluted. Drinking it only brought sickness

Another friend wrote…my wife suffered from kidney disease and many of us became sick after we drank the water from this bore we had. The doctor told us that we must drink only the bottled water or clean water. 

We used to go to another village to collect water. Some people could not walk to other villages and had to buy water from the water tankers but it was very expensive. Now we are so happy that we have this safe and clean water in our village.

Over 50,000 healthier lives

We see a way through their lack of hope, bringing a message of love and practical help that’s transforming lives. 

Just $2800, means we can install a safe 120m deep water bore—a cost that donors and industry experts praise as highly economical. We’ve visited many villages and seen firsthand the incredible impact our water bores make.

The other side of this double tragedy is education. We are now educating children in 4 Child Development Centres. Thats a total of over 200 children attending every day.

Safe water bores are currently being installed in 1 village per month.

That keeps between 1300 and 2000 children and family members safe.

We would love to do more.
