It's World Water Week!

Nearly 570 million children worldwide don't have clean drinking water in school. In India, only 69% schools provide water to students that's safe to drink.

When schools have clean water, toilets and soap for handwashing, children have chances of a better health and immunity system.

Be that mid-day-meal cooked in clean water or availability of soap and sanitary napkins in school premises, a better nation awaits it all. Clean water is required for all of these.

Water is a right, not a privilege. Watch out this #PhotoStory by Jigyasa Mishra to understand the scenario of some government schools in Uttar Pradesh.
