Clean water and sanitation help break the cycle of poverty and promote social equality.
– Piped water at home relieves the burden on women and gives them time to improve their lives.
– Working on a water project together creates a sense of equality and community in villages.
– Household toilets and bathing rooms restore health and cleanliness to every family.
“Just because a person is poor, it doesn’t mean they deserve poor solutions.” – Joe Madiath, Founder of Gram Vikas
Gram Vikas, fights for the most marginalized people in Orissa, India.
Joe Madiath, the founder of our local partner, Gram Vikas, has built an organization focused on equality and human dignity. Through their water and sanitation program, Gram Vikas has helped over 1,000 rural communities break the cycle of poverty by providing access to high-quality water solutions.
Their approach demands a high level of community participation — every single family, without exceptions, must adopt the Gram Vikas model of total sanitation before the village can receive clean water.
Every family receives the same high quality solution: three taps, a toilet and a shower in their home.
