Namita and Anuja are bonafide students of NMIMS- PTMBA-Social Entrepreneurship programme. They chose this programme to contribute in the upliftment of the marginalized society through their unique project Uthaana.

21% of communicable diseases in India are related to unsafe water. In India, diarrhea alone causes more than 1,600 deaths daily—the same as if eight 200-person jumbo jets crashed to the ground each day. Hygiene practices also continue to be a problem in India.

Project Uthaana aims at providing access to affordable and clean water through a low-cost water filter which will help in reducing water-borne diseases and deaths which are rampant amongst the poor section of Indian population.

Namita and Anuja have been selected for the Young Social Entrepreneur Challenge organized by Singapore International Foundation. This is an opportunity for them not only to represent India on the global map but also meet business leaders who can help them execute this project in India and help them contribute in the upliftment of the weaker section by providing them a healthy and happy life. This can be made possible with your generous support and encouragement. 

Please contribute to help them raise the funds which will enable them to attend this challenge and embark on this journey of revolutionizing the access of water systems to the disadvantaged sections of society bringing about an equity.

The competition is on 15th March 2017, for which they need to fly to Singapore. They will need a funding of Rs 75,000 to be able to fly to Singapore and participate in this challenge. We hope to receive your best wishes and contributions by 27th February 2017 to facilitate their travel and participation in this programme. All your support can help these aspiring entrepreneurs realize their dreams and begin a new chapter in the world of social development.
