]]> Project Summary

In the rural areas of Jharkhand, infrastructure for providing safe water and effective management of human wastes is  either inadequate or missing. This project therefore aims to assess the existing water and sanitation  situation and related health risks, identifying potential demand for safe water and sanitation. It seeks to create awareness within the target population on the basic principles of health, hygiene, and safe water, ensuring a child’s right to protection and care. FXB India Suraksha will also mobilise the local youth and women’s groups to develop local leadership in the areas of water and sanitation. It will facilitate community access to related government schemes and programs, making the government more responsive to community issues and inclusive development.
