 Mrs.Puttamma lived with her daughter’s family as she has no one to take care of her. They used to get drinking water from the public tap with TDS* as high as 800 ppm. Due to the poor quality of water, she would experience continuous pains in her legs and back. Her doctor suggested drinking filtered water. Since it was priced at Rs 35/20 litres, she could not afford it. So tap water which was a little far of, was her only source of water and Puttamma would often feel helpless, as she would depend on others to get water from the tap.

Then she came to know about Jal Jeevan Kendra. It was like a turning point in her life as she simply could not believe the price at which she was getting filtered water which was supposed to be the panacea for her illness. Surprised that she could take any denomination of water and pay only for that, added to her pleasure. Puttamma’s happiness knew no bounds as she felt God has answered her prayers and felt blessed. As soon as she started taking water from Jal Jeevan Kendra, within weeks she could feel the difference in her pain. She could herself go and get water so felt confident too. She says, ”I had given up hope on recovering from joint pains and thought soon I will be bedridden but drinking water from Jal Jeevan Kendra has changed my life completely. I do not feel the pains anymore! Sometimes it is hard for me to believe I had such severe pains. Water is available at any time and at a price, I can afford. I have not visited the doctor for last 6 months now”.
