Help Children Go To School
Less time collecting water means more time in class. Clean water and proper toilets at school means teenage girls don't have to stay home for a week out of every month.
We partner with Drop4Drop.org to provide clean water for communities in need.

When a community gets water, women and girls get their lives back. They start businesses, improve their homes, and take charge of their own futures.
43% of those deaths are children under five years old. Access to clean water and basic sanitation can save around 16,000 lives every week.
1 in 10 people worldwide live without access to clean water.
We are on mission change this reality for 1 million people across the globe.
Missira Tenda is a subsistence farming community growing groundnut, millet and rice. This community is remote and most often forgotten.
It has only one hand pump which used to serve the entire community and it has broken down over time. Diarrhoea and other waterborne diseases are very common especially among children.
"Since my childhood I used to observe the amount of strain my mother used to take in bringing the water to our home and we used to assist her and most of the time used to get wasted in fetching the water.
Now we are very happy to see that we have safe water facility at our disposal and we are able to get water easily and also as much as we require."
- Mrs. Jenifer
“Everyday we had to spend lots of time to bring water to our home. Most of the days our children were not in a position to even take a bath.
It was a dream for us that one fine day we would be availing adequate water source. TOMO & Drop4Drop have made our dreams come to reality. It is a miracle for us and our community.”
- Mr. Masthan S/O. Ibrahim
“We are now able to get the required water without any difficulty and the water we are getting is a great blessing to our village.
It was a great dream for us and we had been longing for such a facility in our life. Now our dream has come true.
We are able to use the water for bathing our children and the children are also healthy and the skin disorders which were realised have been controlled.”
- Mrs. Premila W/o. Venkatesan
“Access to clean water in this community has significantly contributed to improving livelihoods and sanitation among the community members who used to face issues related to lack of clean water for many years.
We are lucky that we have got a clean water source nearby our homes. Now, our lives will improve. We thank Drop4Drop and TOMO for this clean water source in our community.”

“Once in 3 days the water used to be availed from the common tap, sometimes the late comers were not able to avail the water.
Then we have to go walking in search of water to the ponds and lakes. Because of the poor availability of water, we used to lose causal jobs, and the children used to suffer skin diseases and cold and cough.
Now we are very happy and are using the water for all purposes. Thank you very much CY Consultants and TOMO”
“We used to walk to the ponds and bring water on our heads and it was great physical constraint to us and with less water we had to attend to all the needs and thus it was not healthier and we used to take bath only once in 3 days.
But now we are very happy as the water is availed at our nearby street and also we are able to get as much as water required for the family.”
- Mr. G. Chengaiah S/o. Krishnaiah
"This water source is where they depend on for drinking, cooking, laundry, bathing especially for their children before they go to school they can have a bath and be comfortable while in class.
The importance of this water source is extremely tremendous. Thanks to this project we are now happy the water source is up in a good quality standard.”
- Mrs. Isatou Sallah
“We had been suffering a lot without water and the water which we used to get is very less and not adequate and again we used to walk more than 2 kilometres one way and have to bring on our head and hip.
This was a great burden to us and now we are so happy about the new water project. Thanks to TOMO, your generosity is well registered in our Hearts. God Bless members of TOMO. Thank You.”
- Ms. Samandhi D/O. Venkatesh
