Humana People to People India
Humana People to People India (HPPI) is an Indian non-profit development organisation that works for the holistic development of under-privileged and marginalised people in 15 states in rural and urban India, reaching out to more than 2.8 million people annually. HPPI’s work strengthens the public health and education systems, creates environmental sustainability, and generates sustainable livelihood options.
In 2023/24, the Eurofins Foundation is supporting the project “Model Village Development Programme in Haryana, India: Solar Powered Water Filter & Street Lights”.
There is a huge energy and clean water accessibility and affordability gap in the Rewari District of Haryana; just 30-50% of the district has a distribution channel of potable water. Only 759 public water connections are available in the district to cater to the water needs of over one million people.
The project promotes access to affordable, clean, and potable water through clean energy sources over 10 years post installation. In addition, solar-powered streetlights will support the safe movement of women in the village after sunset.
The project will:
- Provide over 300 households with access to potable water through solar enabled Reverse Osmosis (RO) water filter installation;
- Provide safe access to well-lit streets for women with 25 solar powered street lights;
- With solar powered RO and streetlights, the villagers can have light access during the daily 4-6 hours power cuts;
- Inform the community about and advocate for clean energy, especially solar energy;
- Promote ownership, strengthen local leadership, and improve management of common areas in the community for sustainability.
This project contributes to the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
