9 More In Jal Jeevan Fold

CONTINUING ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO CLEAN AND SAFE DRINKING WATER VILLAGES IN MAHARASHTRA, THE ROTARY CLUB OF BOMBAY RECENTLY INITIATED A PROJECT TO ADD A FURTHER 27 VILLAGES IN ITS AMBIT UNDER A GLOBAL GRANT.

Before RCB executed this project, the villagers boiled well or ground water or added chemical powders in attempts to make it drinkable. Both were inadequate and caused illnesses in the community that resulted in both loss of income and medical expenses incurred by them. That was before our Club stepped in.

We have completed installation in 23 villages out of 27 villages. Of these, nine were done in October 2020 when the villages opened post-lockdown and confirmed that they were willing to receive outsiders to install the same after August 2020. This takes the tally to 25 completed villages.

The latest nine villages with water purification facilities are: Walgaon, Kavitha, Diwanhked, Shiragaon Korde, Borgaon Mohana, Nimboda, Bijora, Anchalwadi, and Pimpalvihar.

Social worker Nikhil Sonwane visited the villages to confirm installations. The villagers sent recorded messages of gratitude to RCB and our sponsors, VIP Industries.
