A movement seeking support for flood victims from a few friends enabled us to deliver clean drinking water to 100 needy families. We are enthused to see what a 1,000 contributions can do.
Kerala, the small, coastal tourist hotspot in the southern tip of India, is bravely picking itself up from the record rain that caused widespread damage. Government figures give a glimpse of the terrible destruction: 483 dead, 1.4 million people in more than 3,000 relief camps during the flooding, 11,000 houses destroyed, 2.5 lakh farmers affected and Rs. 2,000 crore in losses ($2.8 billion) to the state. Yet, this was just a tip of the iceberg. Of the troubling issues that people have to battle as they clean and rebuild their homes and lives is the scare of epidemics. The Kerala Clean Water Project aimed to provide safe drinking water to needy families affected by the flooding. The initiative of Indian-origin, foreign professionals mobilized and monitored the contributions that come from the diaspora. We worked with trusted hands on the ground to provide safe and clean drinking water and ensured the project benefited maximum number of affected people. We made sure that there is no misuse and pilferage in procurement and distribution, and most number of affected families were benefited.

What we did
We identified low income households with no access to clean, safe drinking water, and the filtering systems that will work best for them. We negotiated and procured water filtering equipment from reputed and certified manufacturers and delivered it to these homes. The donors pay the distributor and are billed directly, while we implemented the systems.
Our commitment to donors
We are committed to total transparency and take responsibility to ensure every dollar donated reached those in need.
