JBF

JBF was established as a nonprofit organization on 15 January 2002 in response to the burgeoning water crises facing the Thar Desert in the state of Rajasthan, Western India, and the vast potential for participatory water management as a path to water security... 2,100+ homes equipped with toilets through creation of an innovative three-pronged strategy based on individual-, group- and community. JBF's sanitation program has led to village-wide sanitation and behavior change in approximately 34 villages, with beneficiary contributing 50% in the cost of the toilet... We are committed to extending unqualified support for achieving people's rights (including the right to water) in the belief that our work will be successful if it eventually contributes to improved public governance.
