Dapur Mal is easily the extremely located tribal place where there is no water from the month of March/April every year & all the 50 tribal families do survive on a small spring of water. God told us “Am giving free water 4 months, why aren’t you using the same?”.
Proud to say that we are the 1st group to visit Dapur Mal after the Independence of India & do some constructive work there.
In the past, we have donated a Smart TV in the tribal ZP school there, notebooks, writing pads & poha too.
So with the help of superr donors, we started collecting funds & on 15th June 2023, went with 4 water tanks of 2000 liters & 2 tanks of 5000 liters. Kept 3 each in the 2 tribal hamlets namely Khorgade wadi & Pardhi wadi separated by around 1.5 km.
From the month of February, gathered everyone from Grampanchayat & started digging for an artificial pond which got 70% completed till the rain arrives. Again superr donors donated for the 60*60 ft. Agricultural ponds plastic & also plastic for the tribal ZP school. We took these 2 items to Dapur Mal on 24th June 2023.
Mapped the 13 houses of Khorgadewadi for the funnel pipes set up (Thanks to Sharad Kamble sir, Pankaj Datar sir & Mangesh Gandhi sir) & on 15th July 2023, took 300 ft funnel pipes plus brackets, ends, pipes, tank nipples, nut bolts etc. to Dapur Mal & as am writing, work is in full force to build a small platform for the 13 water tanks as well as Funnel pipes set up.
Till December, there was still water in the tanks & we were succesful in changing tribals lives for close to 6 months.
As of April 20th 2024, thanks to different NGOs & a corporate, we were able to set up Rainwater harvesting in 2nd tribal hamlet of Dapur Mal & Chakkichapada
