Light, Power and Water
No running water
This is little Priya carrying water for her mother, Tiga. It is a long walk over the sand dunes for Priya to collect this water. It has been generously donated by a local farmer who runs some water to fill a tank at the front edge of the village. The government water pump in the same place, does not work and despite many attempts to have the government pump fixed, this has not happened.

Water Pots
The water is stored. in clay pots above ground, away from the animalsÂ
Bathing, cooking and drinking all require long treks and many buckets a day.
Bhopa village would like to run another pipe and tank to the rear of the village but this requires money. Please help us achieve this for Priya and all the women and children of Bhopa Basti.
Light, Power and Water: About
There is no mains power running to this village. The team have installed four 60 watt solar power units in four homesteads. This has revolutionised the ability to charge phones easily and provide light for cooking at night. They are prone to the elements but are much appreciated. We want to bring one unit for every home - 35 are needed to service each household.
