Transforming Lives: Bringing Clean Water Closer to Villagers
We built a water system to make it easier for villagers to get water. In some villages, people, including children, had to walk long distances to get water because there were no nearby water sources. This took up a lot of their time.
What We Did?
Nitya Saarth Foundation saw this problem and decided to fix it. We built a well in Kundyacha Pada, Sutarpada, and Ghodichapada, small villages in Maharashtra. We connected the well to a water tank in the village using underground pipes. We also used solar panels to power a motor that brought water from the well to the tank. After that, we installed water taps around the village. This meant villagers didn't have to walk so far for water anymore. It also gave children more time to play and learn.
Here's what we did:
-
We built a well near a water source.
-
We put a submersible motor in the well to pump water through pipes.
-
We buried the pipes underground and brought the water up to the village.
-
We installed a tank in the village to store the water.
-
We connected the tank to taps around the village.
Water is important for all of us, but some people, especially in rural areas like Maharashtra, don't have easy access to it. We visited Kundyacha Pada, a village in Palghar district, and saw that people, including children and women, had to walk long distances to get water. Sometimes, they had to carry heavy pots on their heads. It was even worse in the hot summer when there was little water at the source.
We decided to bring the water source closer to the village.
We also used solar power so that the village wouldn't depend on unreliable electricity, and they wouldn't have to pay electricity bills.
Now, villagers have water in their own village, and children can be children again, without worrying about water.
Our project was a big success because it made life easier for the villagers.
This project was unique and made a big, positive difference in the lives of these tribes. The villagers worked hard on it, doing tasks like digging and building the well themselves. We provided the materials, so there was no labor cost. The whole village benefited from this project."
