Women and children of Pinkulam no longer need to walk long distances to obtain pure drinking water, thanks to a 1999 CNEWA grant to improve existing wells and dig new ones in the impoverished village located in the Syro-Malankara Catholic Diocese of Marthandom.

The Bethany Fathers, who administered the grant, noted that although basic health care and health education are in theory available throughout India, the reality is very different. The project, they said, would help prevent disease and would be ‘an unforgettable blessing to the people.’
