Our
Projects
First three years –
Water Centric proposes to start its implementation in India, where
it has prior relationships with local implementing Non Governmental
Organizations (NGOs) and international organizations working on water.
After ‘Water Centric’ has documented success in the two
initiatives in India, these models will be scaled –up to serve
other regions of India and the world. This year, Water Centric will
launch two initiatives in high-need areas of India. The first one
has an urban focus and the other is rural. WC has selected its local
implementing partners in both areas and visited the implementation
site.
Water Centric’s Urban Initiative:
WC along with its local NGO partner Sakshi have
developed the preliminary proposal to provide water, sanitation
and hygiene education to 10 Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD)
schools. Contingent on funding work will begin there shortly. This
10-school urban initiative has a high scale-up potential since there
is a mandate, from the State, to provide this sort of service to
the many needy, among the more than 1800, MCD schools that exist
in Delhi.

WC’s Rural Initiative: WC will work with
its selected NGO partner Swami Vivekanand Youth Movement
(SVYM) on the second initiative for 150 schools in rural
Karnataka (a State of South India). This initiative is in the preliminary
stages of proposal development and will be ready for submission
to potential funders by end April 2008.
After three years-
Water Centric will begin to quickly replicate the successful urban
and rural models and scale-up the initiative to many more schools
and begin expansion into other needy areas and countries.
