Scoping Study

As a view into what our mission here in India is about I have taken an expert from an introduction letter that we are using to set up meetings with various organizations.

Water For People, a Denver, Colorado USA-based international non-governmental development organization that works to improve people’s lives through the sustainable development of safe water and sanitation, is considering expanding its program in India after focusing its efforts in West Bengal for the for over 10 years. As an initial step, Water For People will conduct a scoping study in seven states across the country, including Rajasthan state. Our goal is to identify the State where Water For People’s development model will be most readily accepted and effective. To ensure the objectivity of the scoping studies, Water For People is sending teams from its international volunteer program, the World Water Corps®, each of which will return an analysis of one of a particular State to guide Water For People’s decision-making process.

We are in the process now of identifying the appropriate organizations to meet with and initiate the communication. We are looking at contacting International NGO's, local NGO's, government officials, universities, and business people.
