D-1738    India - Simla Sanitation and Filtered Water $20,765 I t is a sad state of affairs that even in the present modern times, a large population of country does not have access to potable safe drinking water, proper sanitation & health care. Lack of these basic amenities lead to general health problems, especially in semi-urban & rural areas. The prevailing conditions are worst in the poorly aided govt. Schools located in the periphery of semi-urban towns & the rural areas, where the facilities like having safe potable drinking water & provision of separate toilets to girls & boys is a distant dream. Such schools are intended to be the targets of our project.
