Arghyam, works in the water and sanitation sector since 2005. Our vision is “Safe, sustainable water for all”. The emphasis, of all that we do in Arghyam, is on equity and sustainability. Addressing the issues of the poor and the vulnerable in accessing water for their basic daily needs is a priority for us. Addressing these issues in a manner that is environmentally sustainable is important if the outcome is to be effective over time. We believe that the key to achieving this is in better water management which requires effective governance.
