Kapur on Water
Imagine - a
water shortage at Malabar
Hill and a tanker is
on its way. If this
tanker passes through
areas with no water,
the people will definitely
attack the tanker.
The consequences (of
water scarcity) will
not just stop with attacks.
We will have police
in charge of water,
and ultimately the army
will have to protect
water.....

shares the questions
MPs should ask related
to Malnutrition
There
has to be legislation
on who is responsible
for the mal-nutrition
deaths, because nobody
is taking responsibility
of the death of the
children.

Swati
Bhogale shares how TIDE
is creating livelihood
One
of projects that we
did along with UNDP-GEF
small grants project
was to use these dryers
and to create livelihood
opportunities for women
in fish drying in the
coast of Kerala. We
didn’t know anything
about how to dry a fish.
We knew how to use a
dryer.

Children
Forum
We
studied orphanage system,
prevalent in home and
abroad. Later on we
discovered and developed
our own model called
Udayan Ghar. These are
sunshine homes for orphan
and abandoned children.
In one home, 12 children
live together as a unit
like a small family.
The mentors known as
lifetime volunteers
commit themselves to
look after them as their
own children.

Water
Forum
To
make it simpler, and
cost effective, one
can put 1 or 2 liters
of empty plastic bottle
inside the system. The
mineral water bottle;
which we normally throw
- thus causing environmental
hazard - will save at
least 2 liters of water
everytime we flush.
The water in the bottle
will not get flushed.
This should be propagated
in the large apartment
buildings and societies.
