Bringing Pure Water to Rural Indian Villages
Community Pure Elements Pvt. Ltd. (CPE) is committed to providing purified drinking water to people in rural areas. We believe that by reaching the most remote areas of India with pure water that the future of India will be a bright one.
It’s estimated that 128 million rural people in India are without safe water, and that means these same people are at risk for Hepatitis A, enteric fever, intestinal worms, eye and skin infections, and more.1 As an organization, CPE has reached more than 62 villages and helped more than 180,000 people, but there are still millions more to help. We can’t accomplish our mission on our own.
Join CPE in our efforts by learning more about the water issues in India and by becoming a CPE partner. Your investment in this sustainable economic model will improve the lives of many in India by:
- Establishing a safe drinking water source and preventing communicable diseases. According to the World Bank, 21% of communicable diseases are a result of unsafe water.2
- Reducing the disparity between urban and rural residents in India. It’s estimated that only 14% of rural residents have access to a toilet.2
- Creating job opportunities in impoverished rural communities that result in purified water.
- Making water affordable for residents of very remote villages.
