How did we start?

Our community was founded initially in Leh has impacted in myriad ways. Over 7.5 lakh disposable plastic bottles are used and discarded every year in Leh alone.

The lack of waste management systems means that these water bottles end up in landfills, the ocean, or are burned which creates toxic fumes. It's clear that the problem needs to be tackled at the source by reducing consumption of plastic water bottles.

So, the question arises - without buying water out of a plastic bottle, how do we ensure access to clean drinking water for locals and tourists alike? A group of sustainable businesses in Leh came up with the simple idea of providing access to drinking water to all who need it - without having to buy a plastic water bottle. They created Humanfamily Nature Foundation providing access to drinking water to all who need it - without having to buy a plastic water bottle. They created Humanfamily Nature Foundation.
