In the 26 drought ridden villages of Rajasthan supported by
Khandel light, saving a blow dry is the last thing on any woman's mind. Rather, finding water that is safe for her family to drink is the unceasing priority, for there is only one well between 35,000 people.
Even if they walk many many miles, the villagers will not be
able to find clean and safe drinking water.
As a result, many families migrate to the big cities such as
Delhi and Mumbai in the hope of a better life. But they move to a life in the
slums and on the streets which is even worse and there is no future for the
children.
Khandel light, a wonderful charity that is supported by Save the Blow Dry, has stemmed this flow and at the same time
empowered many women and children through its water, sanitation, health,
shelter, employment and education projects.
Buying one “save the Blow Dry” will provide a family with two weeks of water, desperately needed in an area where temperatures are regularly above 45 degrees.
Water is fundamental to life and Khandel light has built a
network of nearly 600 family water tanks, providing around 18,000 of the
world’s poorest people with a drinking water supply.
Each month 430 tankers go into the villages topping these
up.
We're so proud to be partnered with Khandel Light. Since its launch in 2000, Khandel light has provided:
- Over 360 toilets
- 69 brick houses to replace those made of mud and straw which
so easily burn down in the heat.
- Education to over 660 young people (empowering young girls
and giving them life choices).
- 1,456,658 days of employment
- 15 Health Workers who currently work among the villagers to
provide health and general education.
- And much more, including safe kitchens to prevent fires,
maternal and child health support, Health camps and support for teenage girls
including sex education.
- Nearly 600 families with permanent 10,000 litre water
storage tanks.
