Naandi Water Information

Naandi Water is a new generation community social enterprise with a mission to save lives by providing safe drinking water to the underserved in a sustainable way Born as a pilot in the parent company Naandi Foundation 20 years ago, today we are an independent, autonomous social motto organisation for the last 13 years In villages and slums where drinking water is badly contaminated beyond tolerable levels of quality, we provide decentralised long lasting solution in partnership with a CSR and the Gram Panchayat We execute the impact through two main programs 1. Village Water Centre Initiative 2. The School Water Program We believe in sustainability at every turn - 1. For managing the operations and maintenance of the village water centre we charge a very minimal user fee of Rs 4-7/- for 20 litres for seven years 2. Seven years down the line we hand over the water centre to the Panchayat to maintain a self sustaining asset We take pride in the fact that 78% of our 15 years old water centres are functional post hand over (basis an internal survey) We have been pioneers of our model and have been recognised and mentored by at least 10 + institutions of national and global repute, the latest being some of our community practices being featured in the national compendium of Jal Jeevan Mission We hold the values of being Caring, Transparent, Customer Centric, Innovative and Sustainable close to our thoughts, actions and habits at work. We have so far impacted 680+ villages in 07 states of the country and are inching towards that milestone of being impactful and sustainable year after year.
