GLOBAL WATER AID PROGRAMME: MISSION 2020

Mission 2020 has been set up to reduce mortality and morbidity
by providing safe drinking water to a population of 630,000 in the
state of Jammu & Kashmir by 2020

ABOUT MISSION 2020

Global Water Aid Programme: Mission 2020 has been
launched to supply safe water in Kashmir & Jammu by
supplying water filters in community centers, delivering
16,000 litres of safe water via tankers, and installing wells
which can cater a full village of 100 families.
Mother Helpage started a Global Water Aid Programme in
2005, when access and quality of safe drinking water was
inadequate in Africa and India. Following the 2014 floods
in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, and a subsequent
assessment of needs study, it was revealed that the floods
had ruined food stored for the winter, drowned families
livestock, ruined crops and landslides meant entire

communities could no longer live in their homes and had

become isolated. This made them unable to access food
or safe water making them vulnerable to disease, poverty
and starvation.
Mother Helpage recently launched Mission 2020 in
response to the above crisis. We are the only organisation
who have support from the government of Jammu and
Kashmir enabling us to push through the regulations
process and achieving our goals quickly. Being the only
international charity working in the state of Jammu &
Kashmir, communities in the region rely on us to provide
safe water and sanitation.

WHY SPONSOR THIS

PROGRAMME?
Mother Helpage have been working on a Global Water
Aid Programme since 2005 in Sudan, Mali, Niger, Somalia,
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal and India and have installed
4000 water sources so far.

WHY IS
SAFE WATER
IMPORTANT?

A child under the age of 5 dies about

every 90 seconds as a result of
diarrhoea caused by contaminated
water, poor sanitation, and unsafe
hygiene practices.

Safe water contributes to the

development of a community by
improving agriculture, therefore
economic stability.

70% of the earth is water - but less than

1% is drinkable.

Sadly, 9 million people will die this year

from lack of access to clean water

Women and children who mostly bear

the burden of water collection and
usually in unsafe environments become
vulnerable to sexual assaults and
accidents.

Unsafe water causes poor health and

illness. Needy people tend to live on
what they earn on a daily basis and have
no cash reserves to pay for a sudden
illness. The loss of income and the
inability to pay for the cost of treatment
can push a family further into poverty
and debt, thereby perpetuating the cycle
of poverty.

An important reason why girls drop

out of school in developing countries mainly in Africa and Asia - is because of
lack of sanitation facilities.

Carrying water may cause skeletal

deformation and accelerate the
deterioration of joints.

Mission 2020 has been set up to reduce mortality and

morbidity by providing 6,300,000 litres of safe drinking
water per day to the target population of 630,000 in the
state of Jammu & Kashmir by 2020. Each person in the
area will have a daily access to approximately 10 litres of
safe water per day as per the WHO guidelines.

Studies show that school attendance by

girls increases when separate latrines for
girls and boys are installed.
In a school in Bangladesh, where UNICEF
began promoting separate facilities in
1992, girls school attendance has risen
by an average of 11% a year.

This goal fulfills a criteria

set by MDG and WHO for
the reduction of mortality
and morbidity by the
provision of safe water to
theneedy communities.

This programme will

improve development of
the region by improving
agriculture.

Overall contributing
towards making the world
a better place to live

It will contribute towards

economic stability in the
region.

Safe water means more

children can receive an
education thereby helping
to improve the literacy
rate of children and
vulnerable groups which
reduces crime.

Access to safe water and

sanitation Is the building
block upon which to
develop a safer, healthy
and fit community.
