Jal XChange: Empowering Water-Safe Communities
Jal Xchange is connecting changemakers, Water Quality Champions (WQCs), and communities to tackle local water challenges. With Jal XChange, we are taking concrete steps toward building Water-Safe Communities across the country.
What is
Jal XChange?
Jal XChange is a powerful, collaborative platform that brings together verified Water Quality Champions (WQCs), local communities, government programs, and NGOs to address water safety issues. Through a mix of digital tools, real-time data, and community collaboration, we identify and solve water challenges at the grassroots level.
How it works
In the first phase, Jal XChange focuses on gathering water quality data, community testimonials, and local insights. WQCs collect and share this data through the OurWater WhatsApp bot and community meetings.
Through fortnightly digital problem-solving sessions and regional meet-ups, WQCs use Jal XChange’s vast knowledge resources to create customized action plans for water safety.
A growing network of WQCs, local changemakers, and experts work together to implement solutions and monitor progress. The Jal XChange Changemaker League recognizes top contributors with rewards and opportunities for growth.
Phase 1: Problem Identification (Sep 18, 2024 – Mar 22, 2025)
Launch of Jal XChange!
WQCs and local changemakers begin collecting data on water quality issues in villages, including contamination levels, sanitation problems, and community testimonials.
Digital Problem-Solving Webinar
WQCs and local changemakers begin collecting data on water quality issues in villages, including contamination levels, sanitation problems, and community testimonials.
Hygiene and visual sanitary problems
Water safety starts with identifying hygiene and sanitation issues that can contaminate local water sources. Water Quality Champions observe, document, and report potential hazards to ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone.
Safe Water at Home: Ensuring Quality for Health and Well-being
Access to clean and safe water at home is essential for maintaining good health, hygiene, and a better quality of life. As a Water Quality Champion, understanding the key aspects of safe water and how to ensure its quality at home is crucial.
Health and Other Impacts of Water and Sanitation Problems
Unsafe water and poor sanitation can lead to a range of serious health and environmental issues. Recognizing these impacts is vital for taking action toward cleaner, safer communities.
