Five cities. Five teams of young leaders. One life-changing trip. VOTE NOW.
In Mumbai, India, Young Leaders are working to improve access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH).
Through this project, Young Leaders have been going into the local community to understand the water-related issues that people are facing.
In India 88 million people lack access to safe water – that’s enough to fill the Mumbai Football Arena over 4500 times. 1
Varsha is a Young Leader from the community who has witnessed first-hand the impact that this project is having:
“I feel motivated when I see that I am able to better others’ lives by creating awareness from what I have learnt.
We use football as a tool to tell everybody how we are finding solutions. We create awareness regarding issues related to water within the community.”
At the start of the 2021/22 season, Xylem also installed a clean water tower in Mumbai, which produces a safe and long-term supply of fresh drinking water for 1,800 people per day.
This Cityzens Giving project is delivered in partnership with Magic Bus India Foundation, and generously supported by Xylem.
