Juliani Purty has not had access to clean drinking water for more than what she can remember. She and 10 more families located in Longkata, Bandgaon, Jharkhand struggle for a sip of clean, hygienic water.

Call to Action : Call Sashibhushan Samad, Member of the Legislative Assembly, West Singbhum, Jharkhand on +91-8084108336 and request that these families have access to clean, hygienic drinking water
