WELLS FOR INDIA
CHARITY EVENING AT THE HOUSE OF LORDS
Since 1987, Wells for India has worked in partnership with local voluntary organisations in Rajasthan, the most drought-prone state in India, providing support for water-related development and emergency relief work in the poorest village communities. During that period, more than a million people’s lives have been changed for the better. At any one time, around 70,000 people are benefiting from current Wells for India projects.
Our lovely friend Jos Garbett, the operations manager for Wells for India introduced us to this charity we now support & what a stunning setting for such a worthwhile cause. The fabulous evening was hosted by Wells for India patron, Lord Bhikhu Parekh.
