OUR STORY

We started this project with one clear vision - establishing hygiene and water sanitation by empowering lesser privileged children with the knowledge on how to keep themselves and their water clean. 

Our purpose.

Water is a fundamental human need.

The United Nations considers universal access to clean water a basic human right, and an essential step towards improving living standards worldwide. Water-poor communities are typically economically poor as well, their residents trapped in an ongoing cycle of poverty.

Education suffers when sick children miss school. Economic opportunities are routinely lost to the impacts of rampant illness and the time-consuming processes of acquiring water where it is not readily available. Children and women bear the brunt of these burdens.

Water is obviously essential for hydration and for food production-but sanitation is an equally important, and complementary, use of water. A lack of proper sanitation services not only breeds disease, it can rob people of their basic human dignity.

For universal fulfilment of these rights to become reality, we will need the right systems: well-resourced, capable institutions delivering services and changing behavior in resilient and appropriate ways.

Which is why Avaagat, a project aimed towards providing children and families with the tools and education to develop sustainable water, hygiene, and sanitation solutions, promotes the best policies and practices for ensuring safe, reliable water, sanitation and hygiene for all people.
