THE FUTURE

Khandel light works by investing in long-term projects which aim to secure the future of the region surrounding Khandel.

The Charity wishes to continue to improve local infrastructure and education and to be able to respond to any emergency that arises, as it has to date, in particular, with the water shortages. It hopes to be able to extend its remit beyond the 11 villages that it currently supports.

The central issue in Khandel, and therefore the focus of Khandel light’s efforts, always comes back to water; for there can never be good health without access to clean water. Thus, with generous help from volunteers, it is currently investigating long-term solutions to the water shortage issue, such as the construction of very deep wells and desalination plants. If such solutions prove feasible and are implemented, they clearly fundamentally improve the viability of the community.

Khandel light operates a transparent and effective operation, in which help is directed where it is most needed. There is no bureaucracy, but rather a very close relationship with its target community. Its committee hopes to have developed a model of community to community support, operating from the bottom up that could be replicated elsewhere – to support more communities in India, or indeed, in other places.
