80% of people in India are deprived of equitable access to safe water. Of these, 70% belong to economically weaker sections of society who cannot afford expensive bottled/packaged water. JanaJal WOW is aimed at making safe water Available, Accessible and Affordable to these communities in a sustainable manner. Households can now receive safe water delivered to their doorstep at under 2 cents US per litre. Subscription models further subsidise the price down to 1 cent per litre.
Millions of citizens find this most affordable and in fact, profitable since they also save money which would otherwise be spent on medical bills due to illnesses caused due to water-borne diseases. JanaJal also offers gainful employment and social entrepreneurship opportunities to individuals who can now serve their own communities and sustain themselves. By harnessing technology through the proprietary JJSUITE platform, JanaJal is able to utilise spare capacities available at existing water treatment plants and deliver water to homes in a decentralised manner thereby mitigating the need for pipelines. JanaJal WOWs are battery powered and CNG vehicles that support conservation and environment at all times.
