WALK FOR WATER

About WALK FOR WATER

The United Nations General Assembly has recognized that clean drinking water and sanitation are essential to the realization of all human rights. The Honourable Supreme Court has time and again declared access to clean drinking water a fundamental right as part of the right to life under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. Yet, for large sections of the populace, it is very hard to find clean water, let alone get access to it. At any one time, close to half of all people in developing countries are suffering from health problems caused by poor water and sanitation. Walk for Water was set up with the sole aim of providing clean water access to one and all. Aware that nearly half of all supplied water in India is lost due to leakage, we are determined to build up a mass movement to increase awareness, minimize wastage, promote rainwater harvesting and the purification of recycled and contaminated water.
