If, you seriously thinking to contribute something back to the society or communities, you can consider adopting a village for some specific duration. We are promoting a new innovative scheme of ‘adopt a village scheme’ to facilitate positive impacts among rural & tribal communities. By this scheme,  we are not going to change the village in to big city’s or completely bring a solution to all pressing problems. We are advocating children lead change in the villages, where we can try to address the issues of water, open defecation, poor waste management, corruption, Right to Information, etc. We can bring a change among the safe sanitation & drinking water practices among poor & rural communities, increase their knowledge and understanding on solid & liquid waste management, rain water harvesting, etc.
