About Us
Janhit Foundation is an independent, non-profit NGO, actively engaged in the promotion of human welfare through environmental protection since 1998.
Our key areas of work include:
- Groundwater quality protection for human health.
- Provision of safe drinking water to marginalized communities.
- Protection of river water quality for aquatic ecosystems.
- Enhancement of available water resources through water conservation measures.
- Promotion of sustainable agriculture by organic farming methods.
- Environmental education and empowerment of local communities.
- The emancipation of poverty through education and child rights for children of marginalized communities.
Janhit Foundation undertakes this work through scientific research, campaigns, advocacy and grass-root level community involvement.
As a public interest organization the Janhit Foundation focuses on strengthening of local communities through their active participation in the decision making process to achieve sustainable development for the community as a whole. We believe that environmental degradation can only be addressed adequately if local people are empowered in decision making at all levels and have control over their natural resources.
To achieve our goals we work in partnership with government, non-governmental, national and international organisations on environment and human rights issues.
