The United Nations General Assembly made history on July 28, 2010, when it adopted Resolution 64/292, establishing the human right to water and sanitation. The fundamental reality that access to safe drinking water is necessary for the realization of all human rights and the advancement of human dignity is emphasized by this historic resolution. To address this pressing global issue, Swach is dedicated to bringing this vision to life by guaranteeing that safe drinking water is available, affordable, and accessible in India’s villages and semi-urban areas.
That being said, the situation in India is quite worrisome. A comprehensive research by the renowned worldwide advocacy group WaterAid, which emphasizes water and sanitation, found that over 163 million people in India lack access to clean and safe drinking water. This alarming number is the highest globally, underscoring a severe public health emergency requiring quick response. Aside from that, climate change and other environmental issues have made India’s water resource problems worse. Arsenic and fluoride-contaminated areas are especially vulnerable, facing serious health hazards and crises that impact the well-being of innumerable people and families.
In order to address these urgent issues, Swach works with a range of stakeholders to build and maintain drinking water purification plants in communities. With the help of these programs, impoverished communities and semi-urban areas will have access to clean drinking water.
Through these concerted efforts, Swach is dedicated to making clean drinking water accessible for all, paving the way for healthier lives and more robust, resilient communities. By working with local stakeholders and empowering communities, Swach strives to turn the vision of safe drinking water into a tangible reality for everyone.
