Seva Mandaara is proud to support the Dharwad district of Karnataka through the engagement of the Safe Water Network (SWN). There are over 450 water purification plants in the district of Dharwad, each of them supporting ~200 families. In total, more than 100,000 families rely on these stations for safe, affordable water for daily use. The vast majority of these water stations need an upgrade for optimal performance.Seva Mandaara’s goal is to augment the access to clean water to the entire district by raising $23,000. Thus far, the NEKK community has already generously contributed $10,000. Please consider donating so we can close the gap and fund the whole district. Just $50 can help maintain a water station for an entire year. Safe Water Network, our partner in this effort, has a long-standing established relationship with the Government of Karnataka and will support the smooth execution of this directive.Access to clean water is of utmost importance. Lack of access to safe water affects children and women the most; they are disproportionately burdened with water-related responsibilities (e.g., collection, use for domestic chores, caretaking, etc.). By contributing to the optimal and reliable functioning of these water purification plants, you create a positive ripple effect across these underprivileged communities.
