Hemmersbach Kids’ Family

Water - important resource

As in many slums across India, access to clean water is an immediate need in Ramamurthy Nagar Slum. Thus, we decided to make it our priority. Many unprivileged people must walk over a mile with buckets to scrounge water. They often use muddy runoff water from local construction sites. After transporting the buckets back to their dwellings, they use water for cooking, cleaning, and bathing. Every member of the family bathes using the same water from the precious “family” bucket. Children often get ill because of serious poisoning from dirty water.

10 000 liters of water every day

Knowing the problem and needs, we started by counting adults and children living in the slum to learn how much water each family would require. To distribute water equitably, each family receives vouchers for water canisters. Until this day, the Hemmersbach Kids’ Family Team arrives in the slum with a tank truck that delivers water for over 1250 people from this community. We will keep providing the families living in the slum with fresh water.
