Water of Mewat

More than 3.5 million people die each year from water-related disease. The water and sanitation crisis claims more lives through disease than any war claims through guns.

Mewat is a historical region in northwestern India, that has its origin in the folklore of the Mahabharata. Somehow the economic progress in India has forgotten Mewat in the folds of history. It lies in a semi-arid region and one of the biggest challenges is getting access to clean drinking water.

One Earth Environment Foundation is undertaking a unique campaign to raise funds for providing clean water for a few villages in Mewat. By raising 4000 US$ we shall help Mehmood Khan build a team of ‘water entrepreneurs’. These water entrepreneurs shall be able to provide clean water at an affordable price to a large number of villagers in Mewat.

If you’d like to pitch in, please contribute through any of the following options. No amount is small.

Donate online through your credit /debit card/ paypal or

Send an on-line trasfer / post a cheque.On receiving the funds we shall send you a signed receipt.

*In your contribution please mention subject as: ‘water for mewat’

A task to unite the world

There are 195 countries in the world. Each with it’s own culture and geography. But these are just political boundaries decided by human beings. When it comes to nature, there are no boundaries, just one small planet. And yet the illusion of boundaries forces us to live in conflict and distrust.

Can we take on a simple task of uniting the world through like minded people who care for the planet.
We have recently started a facebook group for our project – ‘Enchanted Lands and Fables’. Here’s the link:

http://on.fb.me/9dX5Ws

The idea is to have at-least one person representing each country in the world on this group.
1. Please join the group if you haven’t already.
2. Please write your name and country in the discussion tab of the group.
3. Also invite like minded friends from other countries to join this group.

We’ll be updating the total countries represented every monday on this site. There are only 195 countries and facebook has over 500 million users.

Let’s see if we can unite the world.

Tiger

Tigers help in saving forests, which in turn save the rivers that are critical for survival of people like you and me. In the web of life everything is connected, but not many people realize that. Thankfully, we now have another web that we can use to share this knowledge with our friends and family. But will you?

There are as few as 3,200 tigers surviving in the world’s forests. The scientists say the situation is so bad, that the tiger faces extinction in the wild by 2022 >>.

But hopefully with your help, we shall be able to inform a large number of people that will help us save the tigers, forests, rivers and of course… ourselves.
