Water Literacy Project

India is ranked #8 out of all the countries in the world that most need clean water. In India women and girls bear the brunt of collecting water and water supply (walking many miles back and forth). This can drastically alter female school attendance. Volunteers can help provide educational and technical intervention to help local communities learn how to use and maintain equipment, implement basic water conservation techniques and change the way water is used. Volunteers can also work on many awareness projects by going to organizations, schools, and local communities to spread water issues and solutions.
