About:
Hi Everyone! My name is Ishana Dasgupta. I am 14 years old and a Grade 9 student at the Jamnabai Narsee International School (JNIS), Mumbai.
This is a crucial campaign that will transform the lives of hundreds of women in Karjat, Raigad district (near Mumbai) who are saddled with the inconvenient task of walking long distances to get clean water. Water is a basic human right, but unfortunately isn't readily available to everyone. I don't believe ANYONE should have to endure such hardship in order to get a galleon of water. The task is time-consuming and highly burdensome. It can have severe health impacts on the women as well, giving them pains in several areas of their neck, back and legs. The women also spend hours to get the water & waste time; time that could have been used to do something more productive and generate income elsewhere.
I was thrilled and surprised to learn about the Water Wheel. This is a simple and revolutionary innovation which is an easy-to-use efficient transport system that can hold up to 40L of water and provides the household with enough water for at least a day. The handles can be removed in seconds so that it is also used as a storage container. It's very durable and will last for years. It also brings about a massive behavioural change as many boys and men start using it to get water.
It would mean the world to me if you could contribute and support my campaign! The Water wheels will be distributed by the team from the Rotary Club of Hanging Gardens with their local partners. The cost of doing this (including identifying the women, the cost of the water wheel and the actual distribution ) is only INR 2500 per water wheel making it truly a revolutionary and practical idea. I hope you find it in yourself to donate and put a smile on a deserving woman's face.
"Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but what we give."
A donation, no matter how big or how small is can make the biggest difference. I really hope you help support my campaign, and help me make an impact on their life :)
