Swipe the card and get RO treated drinking water.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to adopt rural villages which are lacking in basic infrastructure and other much required amenities like healthcare facilities, education, proper sanitation and good drinking water.

HOW WE BEGAN

India has only around 23000 primary healthcare centers in rural areas, despite there being more than 600,000 villages in the country. A study stated that at present, 31% of the population has to travel more than 30 kilometers in order to access health care. —Providing healthcare to India's over one billion population of which about 75 percent live in villages, is a formidable task. About 75 percent of the doctors practice in urban areas and 23 percent in semi-urban areas. This leaves just 2 percent of the qualified doctors, who are attached to about 23,000 primary health and 3000 community health centers, to attend to 70 percent of the population living in villages.

With a view to provide the essential amenities to the remote village, the idea of “HERVA foundation” (a registered non-profit making organisation) was incubated. With the use of modern technology and modern gadgets, we aim to reduce the distance between villages and cities and to provide a complete solution for remote villages.
