Problem Statement
Viwandani residents lack access to clean water due to scarcity and cartels, leading to waterborne diseases and poor sanitation.
Proposed Solution
Establish a sustainable, community-managed water business to provide consistent, affordable clean water and promote hygiene education.
Expected Impact
Reduced waterborne diseases (cholera/typhoid) for 5,000+ people, improved sanitation, local job creation, and community ownership of resources.
