Taahira Bhalla and Sia Bishnoi are determined to provide Ferozepur Meo of Mewat District, Haryana, w Dear helping hands,
Did you know?
In Ferozepur Meo village in the Mewat district of Haryana, the villagers:
- Do not have access to clean drinking water
- Have to walk for miles (even children!) to fetch water
- Are compelled to use the contaminated, brackish water available in the village to meet their daily needs
- This makes their hair, body and clothes itchy and sticky, as if covered with salt
- This also causes serious he
Post the successful implementation and delivery of Project Drakht, we are ready to kickstart Phase II of this project. We would like to initiate a sewing skill centre for the teenage girls at the village. It is called Darzi. We are much too excited to help empower girls the same age as ourselves.
Looking forward to your continued support and encouragement.
With gratitude,
Taahira & Sia

Project Drakht village visit June 2017
Heartfelt thanks and gratitude to each one of you for helping us help them realise their dream of clean water. This ambitious goal could not have been achieved without the collaborative effort of each one.
The last few weeks were spent in a whirl of activities that included installing the solar panels, water pump , pipes and tanks and planting the moringa oleifera trees. The implementation was completed end of October. We've run the system successfully for 3 weeks.A few minor glitches came up but have now been ironed out. We now have a fully operational water delivery and storage system in place within the village.And with that we have a village beaming with smiles.
It was heartwarming to see the villagers experience immense joy in receiving water at the village. In their simplicity, we learnt a number of lessons. Besides skills tat we have gained, we both realised that EACH ONE OF US HAS THE KEY TO MAKE A DIFFERECE! We are grateful to have enriched our lives.
Thank You from the bottom of our heart.

Day 1 - A lot of work was achieved. Moringa Olifeira plants were given to the children of the village transferring leadership to them. They have happily and willingly embraced responsibilty for taking care of their trees. A preliminary workshop explaining the benefits of the tree along with purification technique was discussed. Boring started at the site of water and foundation for pipes was laid.
All this could not be possible without your support .... a million thanks.
With Gratitude - Sia and Taahira
