Rauf Ashraf a Mumbai Cricket Star Announces Clean Water Initiative
(PRWEB) July 11, 2007 -- Rauf Ashraf, a star cricket player from Mumbai, has announced an initiative to provide clean water to villages throughout India, Clean Water for India?s Future. Ashraf, an accomplished batsman, seeks to distribute inexpensive water filtration systems to small villages in India. Ashraf says, ?As a professional cricket player, I have been fortunate to earn a comfortable salary and live a comfortable and healthy life. I want to share my good fortune with those who are struggling for basic necessities.?
Lack of clean water is epidemic throughout Asia?s developing countries, frequently leading to disease and premature death among the most vulnerable segments of the population. Children are particularly vulnerable, according to Ashraf. ?Sick children cannot grow, learn and thrive as they should. Children whose parents are ill are at great disadvantage. We can help troubled communities solve this basic problem with inexpensive solutions.?
Rauf Ashraf is seeking the cooperation and involvement of fellow cricket players as well as private citizens. ?As India grows and prospers, we must not forget the poor who are still among us. Our efforts can make a tremendous impact at minimal cost. I feel privileged to assist my countrymen.?
Acumen Funds work is centered on Providing affordable, critical goods and services to the poor through innovative, market-oriented approaches.
Creating a blueprint for solving the problems of global poverty by building sustainable and scalable organizations.
