Help provide India with clean water through Water Filters and Treadle Pumps - Charity Mile Project
Kopernik is a NPO that undertakes activities for "Connecting country to country," "Environmental conservation," "Improving sanitation and health in developing countries," (Safety and Security) and "Improving children's lives and expanding the opportunity to study" (Nurturing the next generation). These activities also resonate with the CSR activities of the JAL Group. Since 2013, we have been engaged in the Connecting People to People, Bridging Japan and the World Project to expand the impact of such activities through collaboration.
JAL will offer ongoing support to Kopernilk's activities, including the provision of air tickets.
Launch of "Connecting People to People, Bridging Japan and the World" Project
In India, people struggle to obtain clean water. Most of the water sources are polluted by sewage water and agricultural drain. They may drink dirty water and damage their health. People also spend a great amount of time fetching water, carrying heavy water buckets.
This year we will provide simple water filters and treadle pumps to schools and other public facilities in India. Treadle pumps will help reduce both physical stress and hours spent for water drawing, and water filters will eliminate pollutants and even the unpleasant smell and taste, which can be used as a clean and safe water source.
Donation acceptance has closed.
