PROJECT DETAILS

​

Project Jal Jeevan has been initiated to provide clean water to the villagers at Phoolpur and Shravasti districts of UP. We install handpumps at the selected areas to provide easy access of water to people.

As we know that water is largely a gender issue, it has been observed that women are the one who goes to far off places in scorching heat to fetch water for their families.  Understanding the importance of water and consequences of water pollution, Paras has initiated a project named ‘Jal Jeevan’, where we have purely focused on supply of pure water and awareness of water pollution.
