About Us
We are a student team behind Taps & Truth, an IGCSE Global Perspectives project dedicated to addressing water contamination in Mumbai’s slum areas. Our focus is on raising awareness, presenting simple and affordable filtration methods, and amplifying the voices of those directly affected.
Through surveys, interviews with doctors, and conversations with local residents, we have explored the serious health risks caused by unsafe drinking water. Our website and social media page share our findings, along with practical solutions that can improve daily living conditions.
We believe access to clean water is a basic human right. By combining research, fieldwork, and creative outreach, we aim to educate, inspire change, and encourage better water practices in vulnerable communities.
The greatest injustice is thirst in a world full of water.
Our Mission
Our mission is to raise awareness about water contamination in Mumbai’s slum areas and educate communities about simple, affordable methods to make drinking water safer. Through surveys, interviews, and awareness campaigns, we aim to highlight the risks of unsafe water and inspire small but meaningful changes that can protect health and improve quality of life.
Our Vision
We envision a future where access to clean and safe drinking water is a universal reality, not a privilege. Our project aims to inspire sustainable practices, informed communities, and collective responsibility toward water safety. By combining research, awareness campaigns, and expert insights, we hope to spark change that extends beyond our project—encouraging action from individuals, communities, and organizations to protect one of life’s most essential resources
