Water is a fundamental human need. Each person on Earth requires at least 20 to 50 litres of clean, safe water a day for drinking, cooking, and simply keeping themselves clean. Apart from that, it is essential for hydration, food production and sanitation too. AJMAL FOUNDATION takes initiatives to provide access to safe water to the people of areas where there is scarcity of water by installing tube wells and ring wells. It is aimed for those people who are devoid of potable water owing to factors like climate change, such as altered weather-patterns (including droughts or floods), increased pollution, increased human demand and overuse of water.

Why is it so urgent?

As water plays a vital role in the day to day life of a person, using contaminated water can cause various diseases. Education suffers when sick children miss school. Economic opportunities are routinely lost to the impacts of rampant illness and the time-consuming processes of acquiring water where it is not readily available. Children and women bear the brunt of these burdens.

How will we do it?

A Project Implementation Committee is set up consisting of the core members of the organization. The beneficiaries include the people living Below Poverty Line (BPL), the differently-abled, widows, orphans, victims of natural and manmade calamities, who do not have access to safe water. They are identified with the help of local prominent persons.

Project Evolution?

AJMAL FOUNDATION has its Project team visiting the sites of the tube wells and ring wells that are built for the poor families every 6 months to follow up with the beneficiaries. They maintain a record of the condition of the tube wells or ring wells and any maintenance works if needed. They also keep a track of the beneficiaries’ progress upon receival of the tube wells or ring wells.

What have we done in the past?

In the past, several projects have been done by AJMAL FOUNDATION regarding the relief and rehabilitation of flood victims throughout the country. In 2017, seven thousand and five hundred victims in Bihar benefitted from our project and five thousand in West Bengal. Similarly,sixty Low Cost Houses were built for the victims of the flood that occurred in Chennai in the year 2016.
