The Power of Clean Water in Nepal

Because of the difficult topography in Sindhupalchok, Nepal, many people still rely on outdated water systems. This area is characterized by its rocky, steep terrain and frequent natural disasters, such as the earthquake in 2015. These conditions make it difficult for locals to consistently access clean water.

Clean water has the power to change everything in this doTERRA Wintergreen sourcing area. For women, it means less time fetching water from potentially unsafe water sources and more time for caring for their children and for income producing activities. For young children, it means less risk of preventable, waterborne diseases and more opportunity to live a healthy childhood. For tenth grader, Priyanshu Jaiswal, it means more time in class with better hygiene and fewer missed days of school.

At Priyashu’s school there are 1000 students and one water pump. On breaks, students have to wait for their turn using the pump to get a drink, which has resulted in scuffles between students when they’re thirsty. The pump is also the only source of water for the bathrooms. Students have to fill up a bucket at the pump to carry with them to use in the restroom for hygienic purposes. This can be particularly challenging for the younger, smaller children.

An updated water system would help these students have easier access to clean water while also improving hygiene at school. Additionally, an updated water system would help these remote areas, where women and children spend two hours or more a day collecting drinking water that’s unsafe and often contaminated. Funds donated to the doTERRA Healing Hands Foundation^® during July, August, and September will go towards projects like updated water systems that will benefit two schools and more than 1000 families in the doTERRA Wintergreen sourcing area.

Priyashu shared, “We really hope this project can be completed as soon as possible. Not worrying about water will allow us to focus more on our studies.”

Give these communities, and others like them, the gift of clean water and so much more. Donate today!
