Where Water Flows

Celebrating the people, places, and possibilities of a water-secure rural Odisha.

IT'S BEEN FOUR DECADES SINCE WE STARTED

From mobilising indigenous communities to fight for their rights to partnering with them to build better lives, our legacy is of a commitment to advancing equity and dignity for the poorest.
