India is located in South Asia and is ranked 127 out of 185 countries in the world based on the UN’s Human Development Index. Alarmingly, over 373 million people (27.9%) in India live in severe multidimensional poverty.1 Over 47 million people in rural India lack access to clean drinking water and over 345 million lack access to adequate sanitation facilities.2
Serving the Unreached
In India the dominant religion is Hinduism, with over 80% of the population identifying as Hindu. There are 2,373 people groups in India and 2,135 remain unreached with the gospel. Christianity is growing yet still in the minority at 2.3% and Christians often face significant persecution for their faith.3 Our implementing partners mobilize local pastors and churches to participate in water projects in villages where there is often no Christian presence.
Our Work
For over 13 years, neverthirst has been helping people in India gain access to clean water and give a platform for the local Church to show God’s love through the provision of clean and living water. Our implementing partners work in rural villages where communities access water from open (contaminated) wells and surface rivers that are not safe and run dry during the prolonged dry season.
We are focused on improving health in India through a variety of projects including community hand pumps, large-scale piped water systems, and safe water treatment at the household level.
