Raising Awareness Amongst the Youth of our Project Villages


January 2018

Since the formation of our partnership with Tarun Bharat Sangh (TBS) in October 2014, we have worked together to improve Water Use Efficiency in five villages (Raipura, Bhaal, Gopalpura, Govindpura and Jaitpura). Now, following the success of our collaboration, we wish to take our partnership to the next step. With our next collaborative project with TBS now underway, the project focuses on 30 additional villages which fall into the basin of Rivulet Arvari, Sarsa and Bhagani.

The project is designed to raise further awareness amongst local farmers and youth, alongside the installations of Sprinkler and Drip Irrigation Systems. Embarking on the project in November last year, the first of our ten Youth Awareness workshops has now been conducted. Assembled with motivational speeches and issue-based lectures to raise awareness over Water Use Efficiency, the workshops seek to inspire local, future generations, to help ensure sustainable growth in the welfare of the community.

The youth awareness workshops alone are provided to benefit around 2000 young people of the rural communities. Aiming to enrich the local youth with a deeper understanding of sustainable water, our workshops provide educational programmes into water-efficiency, farming and sanitation, prospering a greater future for the local youth.

With our new journey with Tarun Bharat Sangh underway, the future of the project looks exciting. Check back soon to see further updates on the project, including the development of Sprinkler installations and Drip irrigation systems too!

  • We complete our dugout project in Tacpuli, Ghana

    In remote regions of Ghana year round streams are rare and ground water is often inaccessible, so communities collect rainwater in dugouts but these are now drying out for several months at a time due to climate change. This means villagers, especially women and young girls have to walk very long distances to find often…
