MISSION STATEMENT
Safe
drinking water is for every one on
the earth, regardless of race, religion or socio-economic condition.
Safe drinking
water and safer sanitation is of great importance
for
mankind's
health and well-being.
Ground water Arsenic contamination was found in many countries of Asia, Latin America, and even in USA (see
map). During 1960-1980's many
affected countries were able to
remove arsenic by necessary measures. Worldwide the number of
people
affected have been very low and has not
been as dangerous as has been found in many villages in West Bengal, India and Bangladesh. In West Bengal and Bangladesh , millions of people have
been affected and millions
more are at very high risks.
Currently
our
commitment and long term goal is to reach out to the people of affected
areas
in West
Bengal,
India,
where
ground water arsenic levels are significantly and
dangerously higher than maximum World Health
Organization(WHO)
permissible levels of 0.05 mg/L.
The
governmental agencies are trying its best to
help but more help is needed and we as non governmental organization
(NGO) will raise funds to help
these innocent victims as well. Our
primary focus is on the Health and Wellness issues
of affected people and at the same time help villagers get
arsenic free water in the most economical and environmentally safer
ways. Our organization has also run free medical clinics in several
arsenic affected areas of West Bengal and we plan to expand
on
it. |
