Development Organization of the Rural Poor (DORP) has won the ‘Water for life’ Best Practices Award 2013 of the UN World Water Assessment Program. There were 46 countries from across the world.

With population increase and lack of judicious use of water resource it has reached a disturbing level of scarcity. The government and the NGOs are working for management and proper distribution of water to the needy. DORP is implementing water related ‘Health Village: WASH Perspective’ programme in coastal, marshland, shoal and flood prone areas.
