WHAT DOES THE FOUNDATION DO?
----------------------------
To begin with, the Foundation is working on the question of water only in the state of Maharashtra.
The Government of Maharashtra has launched the ambitious Jalyukt Shivar Abhiyaan to work on watershed management at the village level. Several NGOs and corporates have
adopted villages and are constructing local water conservation works for this purpose. While all of this work is extremely important, we are approaching the challenge from
a diametrically different direction.
We believe that it is the people themselves who have the greatest power and capacity to solve the problem of water. If people are convinced and motivated, they will find
the land, the money, the know-how, the labour and whatever else is required to harvest and manage their water. This approach offers the real possibility of a mammoth and
rapid scale-up of the effort to solve the water crisis.
Concretely, the Foundation is working on three major fronts:
1. Motivation: People must be convinced that localised rainwater harvesting and watershed management is the way to ensure water security. Farmers, industrialists, citizens
of every walk of life – adults and children – everyone will have to be part of the movement. Every person must be convinced that he or she has a role to play in this and
that this role can be played easily and joyfully.
The Foundation aims to use every form of mass media and digital media to motivate people by entertaining them, educating them and emotionally drawing them into this
movement.
2. Training: The Foundation is working towards training five persons per village in 30,000 drought-prone villages in Maharashtra to work on watershed management. This will
entail training nearly 1.5 lakh people totally.
This training will have two key components. The first is the technical aspects of watershed management and the second is the leadership challenge which, at heart, is the
challenge of getting people together and united for this task.
3. A Platform for Resources: The Foundation aims to create a digital platform that will enable people to:
– Access technical information from peers and from experts.
– Access funds through crowdsourcing.
– Access help from the government.
– Access mentors and volunteers.
In a nutshell, the Foundation’s focus is to motivate, train and empower people to solve their water crisis through their own efforts.
