Global Action Nepal (GAN) is a NGO which for the previous two decades has been working towards enhancing the lives of young minds by providing quality education and vocational skill courses.
The NGO which has been working with the continuous aim of creating a better society was itself going through a major water crisis as the community water supply in Karya Binayak location was really poor where the program office of GAN is located.
That was the time when GAN came up with the solution of filtering their groundwater and use it for daily use. For filtering their groundwater and purifying it, they chose to use the biosand filter from SmartPaani.
This was solving their water scarcity problem really well. They wanted also to become more sustainable with their water usage. To adapt sustainability in their office, they chose to recycle and reuse their rainwater for which they used rainwater harvesting.
Today, with the help of rainwater harvesting solution from SmartPaani, they are able to collect and use almost 2, 00,000 liters of rainwater annually. They use the water they require and the remaining water is used to recharge groundwater.
Global Action Nepal (GAN) is truly taking an action towards conserving every drop of water and reducing water demand from municipal water supply or from sources like tanker water. They recycle and reuse their rainwater while also recharging groundwater supply all of which ensure sustainability in water consumption.
Organizations like GAN have truly understood and implemented that “Impactful solutions begin with sustainability.”
