Profile Information
- Have you read "The Blue Sweater?"
- Yes
- Why do you want to be a part of this community?
- I am so excited to be a part of this community and see how we can find ways to connect and collaborate. Personally, I am excited to work with people who want to change how the world tackles poverty.
I'm Acumen Fund's Director of Communications, and have worked here for almost seven years. I am devoted to what Acumen Fund is working to do in the world - offering a different approach to solving the problems of poverty. I truly believe in the power of communities and tribes to create change, and am looking for others who are ready to answer the call to lead through this community. Let me know if that sounds like you.
- How have you already helped Acumen Fund?
- I launched the water portfolio in 2003, helped invest $4 million in drinking water, irrigation and sanitation enterprises in India and East Africa, and started our Knowledge and Communications program. For the first year, we focused on strengthening our web presence and capturing knowledge through case studies and stories for the web, but we are now full throttle on Communications, sharing our story, and building an inclusive community of people who want to change how the world tackles poverty and end poverty in our lifetimes.

JEEVAN JAL
JEEVAN JAL is a facilitating organization working towards drinking water security and habitat improvement by empowering communities to manage their local water sources, drinking water supply and environmental sanitation.
We have installed our plants successfully in Himmatnagar Taluka (SK) and have started with daily sales of 150 bottles. The sales price of each bottle (One bottle consists 20 Liters water) is Rs. 5/- on hand delivery at plant and Rs. 7/- for door delivery. We issue a prepaid card to a customer for 30 days for Rs. 150/-.
Looking to the aim of the project, to provide lower PH water to the village people in affordable price, we got positive response from Govt. Bodies, i.e. Gram Panchayat, Local bodies etc. They provide water in very much low price. The affordable price of Rs. 5/- per bottle consists 20 Litres for rural area is very much lower than the same is available @ Rs. 20/- in Himmatnagar @ Rs. 25/- in Ahmedabad
