THE PROBLEM

  • Around 30% of rural schools in India lack access to safe drinking water on school premises. Currently, students are either required to carry water from home or they miss class because they are sent to fetch water during the school hours.
  • Although 93% of schools have drinking water facilities within campus, it is functional in only 50% of these schools
  • Illness due to water borne diseases is the primary reason for absenteeism from schools in rural India
  • More than 40 per cent of diarrhea cases in schoolchildren are contracted at school rather than at home.
