Asbah
Project Asbah
Nearly 163 million Indians do not have access to clean drinking water. With 70% of India’s water being contaminated, it ranks 120 among 122 countries in the water quality index. Presently, people in India are coping with this problem by purchasing cans of water from local suppliers. These cans are priced at an average price of USD 0.49. This leads to the consumers spending a major part of their earnings just to have access to clean drinking water. Project Asbah aims to provide clean drinking water to underprivileged communities at just USD 0.06 for 20 Litres by setting up community water filtration plants. The water is dispensed with the help of rechargeable digitized Asbah cards and the plant is handled by our two women entrepreneurs.
