TIRUPUR, ARCOT BORE WELL project by the GHNI:

People those who lived in Ammapalayam, Tirupur went through much scarcity of water and also lot of physical and mental hardship.  In Tirupur our team had campaign against suicides, through which we reached thousands of people.  This area in India records highest suicide rate.  With the help of GHNI we dig a bore well in one of the village, around 400 people benefited out of this.

Another bore well was drilled in the same way in Arcot, near Vellore.  This bore well benefited around 200 people.  Through these bore wells in these 2 places hundreds of people got enough drinking water.

More than 200 families in this village, but there is water scarcity .  GHNI helped us to make 300 feet bore well with the expense of Rs.90,000/-.  The bore well was dedicated by our National leaders Mrs. Annie, Mrs. Neena.

Another bore well is digging now in Gummudipundi area on the way to Andhra from Chennai. This will complete it works next week. This is the place where Dan visited and heard the story of a poor widow.

Wells Of Tirupur, India

Tirupur, India is in many ways hostage to its own success.  A major clothing and garment manufacturing center of India, tens of thousands remain without basic needs such as clean water.  These are subjugated to “system” of slavery intrinsic to this industry that pays $4-$7 dollars per week, depending on whether you are a women/man and where one is in the processes of this type of manufacturing.  Most in the West would call it “slave labor”.  GHNI is now(7/’12) in the process of digging its first well in this neediest of locations.  This water is available for not only home domestic needs, but will also be available for irrigation purposes also needed in these families for crops cultivation.  Dan was there at the end of 2011 and personally witnessed these families in dire need of clean water. 

Water & Wells …

Wells are such a big part of what GHNI is and does!   It almost goes without saying.  But it needs to be said yet again … “WELLS”.  Wells are water.  It sounds so simplistic.

We in the West forget so quickly that water is an essential formation of all societies and cultures.  Where would your latte be without the water for that steamed milk?  Where would your choosing be of that Delta faucet, without that clear water to run through it?  Clean bodies and cars come from clean water.

For most people in the world, the issue of water is a lot closer in conscience to “survival”.  No water?  No sustenance.  No water?  No food to grow.  No water?  No health.  No water?  No school.  No water?  No … and the survival-list goes on and on.

Wells and water are 1st on GHNI’s list of essentials for any village.  Water before any of the other TCD needs.  Water before food.  Water before health.  Water before education.  Water before micro-enterprise.

Thank you deeply for your contributions of water for these villages we serve!
