NORMA Group, a global market leader for engineered joining technology, continues to make progress on the implementation of the NORMA Clean Water development aid project in India.
Launched in 2014, the program is determined to improve the water supply and sanitary conditions in 50 schools in Greater Pune in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
“We have achieved important milestones since the start of the project,” said Werner Deggim, CEO of NORMA Group. “For instance, we were able to bring the importance of clean water and hygiene closer to the kids at almost all of the schools.
“We are very pleased with the progress we are making. After all, World Water Day reminds us of how important access to the valuable resource water is for all of us. With its diverse product solutions for water management, NORMA Group supports the global trend toward an efficient and sustainable water usage.”
As part of the NORMA Clean Water project, educational children’s clubs have been founded at 46 of the 50 schools involved in the Greater Pune program. Students check the status of sanitation and cleanliness in their schools.
The project also has installed electric incinerators at 11 educational institutions, which allows hygiene products to be disposed of safely.
NORMA’s Clean Water project will benefit 15,000 pupils and teachers through 2017. The project is conducted in cooperation with the child aid organization Plan International.
Along with the educational initiatives, essential renovations on washrooms and water lines are carried out to improve the learning and working conditions for the children and teachers in the long term. fii-news.com
