Greetings everyone!

I have so much wonderful news to share with you that I don't know where to begin!  In some way, over the past 20 years, you have been involved with nonprofit artistic circles and our social media projects.  Our current project is the Water Pressures video documentary and educational exchange between India and the U.S.

This website describes the principles and techniques of self-financing, ecological, sustainable local  integrated development projects for the world's poor in detail. In each project area with about 50.000 people social, financial, productive and services are set up in a critical order of sequence to ensure a good quality of life everyone, without exclusion, in each project area. The Model gives full coverage to drinking water structures, rain-water harvesting and recycling of grey water for household level cultivation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction

It is a well documented fact that the combination of safe drinking water and hygienic sanitation facilities is a precondition for health and for success in the fight against poverty, hunger, child deaths and gender inequality. Yet 2.6 billion people – half the developing world – lack even a simple ‘improved’ latrine. One person in six – more than 1 billion of our fellow human beings – has little choice but to use potentially harmful sources of water.
