Well in Tamil Nadu

At Auara, we are working to combat the greatest form of poverty there is: the lack of clean drinking water.

CONTEXT

90% of the population of the area in which the project will be developed depends on agriculture and related sectors. The lack of rainfall during the seasonal monsoons in recent years has led to the depletion of aquifers. The socio-economic conditions of the inhabitants of the area have become deplorable and deteriorate year after year. Each year, an estimated 37.7 million Indians suffer from water-borne diseases, 1.5 million children die from diarrhoea.

OBJECTIVES

The project has addressed the shortage of drinking water for the residents of Ayyampatty by digging a well and installing a motorized pump to draw water, as well as a tank to store it—a solution that is also being proposed for St. Mary Magdalene Church and St. Joseph’s Primary School. 

The well was built on parish land, where the school is located. The water will be used by both the parish house and the school. The well is also used by the villagers.
