PREVENTING WATERBORNE DISEASES

Access to safe drinking water, proper sanitation, and good hygiene is essential to preventing water-borne diseases and protecting community health. We support Tibetan communities in India and Nepal by constructing and repairing toilets, improving water supply and drainage systems, and upgrading sanitation facilities in schools, clinics, settlements, and elder homes.

Our work focuses especially on remote and underserved areas, including Arunachal Pradesh, Ladakh, Odisha, Lower Mustang, and Dhorpatan in western Nepal. Since 2016, more than 40,000 Tibetans have gained access to improved water, sanitation, and hygiene services through these efforts.
Alongside infrastructure improvements, we promote healthy practices through school-based awareness programs, interactive hygiene education sessions, and student-led clubs that encourage long-term community engagement.
