Problem - Water Scarcity - Bihar. 
Bihar, home to 100 million people and one of the poorest states in India, has a major problem,  water scarcity.    

There are  thousands of villages which have no continuous water, for basic needs such as irrigating fields, drinking/cooking and personal care. 

During difficult periods, they have to choose between these basic needs.  What they need are reliable water pumps (chaapakal).

The worst time is the dry season from April  to July. 

One of the issues is wells not going deep enough eg 40 metres vs 100 metres.   Some villages need water to be delivered as a cost of 100-200 INR per person per month.  Some villages are having to pay up to INR 600  (~£6 or $8) per person for the 3 months dry season. 


Solution - Chaapakal
Locals need year round village hand pumps - Chaapakal

Each cost ~45,000 INR (~£450) and  can provide water for 50 people all year round

This equates to 900INR per person for water all year round - about £9 or $12 per person

This is well will work year after year, after year, after year… How much do you spend on water per year?  

Funding
For complete transparancy. I will be collecting the money and creating an international currency account with a card. That way the account will show where the money goes. This is still in the pipeline and we will get receipts for all payments. I will be taking no money for this, but will send it over to Anil, who will show where the money goes. 

Message from Anil  in Bihar
Hello everyone ! It’s Myself Anil, I am born in (Bihar )
The place was where bodha got Enlightenment , I am working as social community
How are you, I hope everything fine with you guys in Covid -19 ,
In this 2020 or 2021 it’s very difficult situations for all of the world ,
I lose some friends and family 2021 . It’s very difficult time for my city and for Indian as well.
I wanted to explain you guys form Bihar situation.

In this time I am went to many villages and I see many people have no food, no water, no clothes, no blankets in the winter, no copy book , no doctor and in villages poor peoples died for corona virus at the moment,
Since 2.5 years I meet friends from UK , he’s name Marq and we’ll chatting since 2018.

Still here lockdown no any work for the poor peoples. Economic very bad here. Everyday 3 or 4 peoples died for food and and for medicine and doctor as well.
 
Please if you able to help them you can

As you have asked me earlier about the advantage of offering a Drinkable Water Hand Pump for poor majority:

The poor majority general wages people’s who lives in slum, very hardworking labor, housekeeper, rickshaw puller.

Mainly those peoples are far away struggling of water no more source of healthy drinkable water, as it is water wells claps, polluted water, and also the hand pump is not affordable to have the own hand pump for them.

So therefore we are trying to install the Drinkable Water Hand Pump installation to each of that 60 poorest ruler villages.
