📍 Bilayti Tola, West Singhbhum, Jharkhand

On the World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought, the story of Bilayti Tola reminds us that resilience is not always built through big infrastructure alone — sometimes, it is built through collective care, traditional wisdom, and the quiet determination of a community.

In this village, where access to drinking water, roads, and electricity remains a daily challenge, people continue to depend on a traditional water source known as a Chuan — a small rain-fed water storage pit that slowly filters groundwater through natural percolation.

Every day, villagers come together to clean, protect, and maintain the Chuan, ensuring that their families have access to safe drinking water.

Their story tells us something powerful: When water becomes scarce, communities become innovators.

For many of us living in cities, access to clean drinking water and toilets is something we may rarely pause to think about.

But for young people in the water-stressed Niwari block of Bundelkhand, even small improvements in WASH infrastructure can mean something much bigger — hope.

With support from the Mubea Helps Foundation, WHH India created three model WASH villages in Niwari Block, Madhya Pradesh — Ramnagar, Kuluwa and Bahera — by improving school and community WASH systems.

The initiative supported new and repaired toilet complexes, handwashing stations, rooftop rainwater harvesting systems, Water plus RO units, greywater management, soak pits, menstrual hygiene facilities, and MHM kits for adolescent girls.

But the work went beyond infrastructure. Through football, storytelling, music, wall paintings and community campaigns, the project encouraged lasting behaviour change and stronger local ownership.

A special highlight was the creation of Kuluwa School’s digital library — the first such facility in Niwari district — showing how community-led WASH initiatives can also open doors to learning, dignity and opportunity.

- initiative was implemented with support from our local partner Parmarth Samaj Sevi Sansthan

This World Environment Day, ask yourself, ↪ What if the colors we wear, create, and celebrate reflected a more conscious choice — for nature, for people, and for the planet?

Building a period-friendly environment where no girl or woman feels ashamed to talk about menstruation, seek support, or manage her period with dignity and confidence. 💚

एक ऐसा माहवारी-अनुकूल माहौल बनाना, जहाँ कोई भी लड़की या महिला मासिक धर्म के बारे में बात करने, सहयोग माँगने या गरिमा और आत्मविश्वास के साथ अपनी माहवारी को संभालने में शर्म महसूस न करे। 💚

The Guardians of the Forests 🌿

Deep in the forested hills of Chhattisgarh, the women of Bootigarh village are courageously fighting for their land, identity, and future.

For years, indigenous families have cultivated small plots of land and depended on forest produce like mahua, sal leaves, harra, and bahera for survival. Yet, despite nurturing this land since 2005, many still lack official land entitlements.

They have navigated legal processes, various challenges, and periods of uncertainty, yet they have remained committed to their cause. Every day, these women continue to care for and conserve the forests, support their families, and stand strong for their community and future.

Through the collective efforts and increased awareness, their journey has become a powerful reminder that resilience, unity, and courage can drive lasting change.
