CSR water projects that are still working years later.

The Jal4All Foundation partners with companies on CSR and executes water projects end to end: drinking water points, wells, pumps, storage and pond revival, planned with the community, built under our supervision, handed over with a maintenance plan, reported and certified.

What we build

Six kinds of water project

Drinking water points

Clean water points with storage and filtration at schools, health centres, bus stands and markets, built with a plan for who looks after them.

Wells and borewells

New or revived sources where groundwater allows, with permissions, water testing and a handover to the gram panchayat or institution.

Pumps

Hand pumps and solar-powered pumps that make an existing source usable every day, with training for local upkeep.

Pond and tank revival

Desilting, repair and recharge work on village ponds and tanks, so water stays in the ground and in the village longer.

Water storage

Storage tanks for schools, hostels and villages that receive water irregularly.

Free water at the right time

Unbranded free drinking water for heatwaves, pilgrimages and relief, funded as CSR with simple acknowledgement only.

Fits the law

Named in Schedule VII

Safe drinking water is listed by name among the activities a company's CSR can cover under the Companies Act, 2013.

How a project runs

Five stages, documented at each one

  1. 01

    Find the need

    Visit the place, talk to the community, the school or the panchayat, and check the water source and the permissions needed.

  2. 02

    Proposal

    Scope, budget, timeline, who will own and maintain the asset, and how we will report. Written for your CSR committee.

  3. 03

    Build

    Work by licensed vendors and contractors under our supervision, with photo updates at every stage.

  4. 04

    Hand over

    Water testing where relevant, a handover to the owner, and a simple maintenance plan with local people trained to follow it.

  5. 05

    Report and certify

    A completion report with photos, location and costs against budget, and the utilisation certificate your CSR team needs for its records.

Working with the Jal4All Foundation

You fund it. We execute it.

One partner from the first site visit to the utilisation certificate, so your CSR team is not managing vendors, contractors and paperwork.

Partner

Your company partners with the Jal4All Foundation on a water project that fits your CSR policy and the places you care about.

Fund

CSR funds are released against an agreed scope, budget and milestones. Every rupee is tied to a line in the plan.

Execute

Our team runs the project on the ground: permissions, vendors, contractors, quality checks and community handover.

Report and certify

Stage-wise updates, a completion report, the utilisation certificate and an entry in our public impact log.

For your records

What your CSR team receives

  • A project proposal with scope, budget, timeline and asset ownership
  • Stage-wise photo updates with location
  • Water test reports where the project needs them
  • A handover record signed by the asset owner
  • A completion report with costs against budget
  • The utilisation certificate for your CSR records
  • A public entry in our impact log, if you want one

CSR stays CSR

CSR projects carry a simple acknowledgement of the funding company, as CSR rules expect. If you also want your brand on water to reach customers, that is a Jal4All brand campaign, run and billed separately.
