Arghyam is a public charitable foundation setup with an endowment from Mrs. Rohini Nilekani, working in the domestic water and sanitation sector in India since 2005. Arghyam supports projects to promote water and sanitation security with stress on people’s participation and awareness. Domestic water is primarily a women’s burden and disproportionately impacts women and the girl-child in multiple ways. Therefore, promoting gender equity is an important facet of Arghyam’s work. The projects are spread across all geographies – deserts, mountains, flood-prone regions, rain-fed, coastal and tribal areas, representing the diversity in the country.
